fectal leakage - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

Hello All!

Does anyone have problems with leakage? About an hour or so after I have a bowel movement, I feel wet and have to run to the bathroom to wipe myself.(VERY EMBARRASSING!) It does streak my underwear, and I have no warning it's happening, I just feel wet. There is no pain associated with this. Please help me! Thanks in advance. Natalie

P.S. I am being checked for MS. My brain MRI w/ and w/o contrast is scheduled for 3/3.

I have my MRI tomorrow. I have had the same symptom, as well as many others. For one week, I had diarreah, then the next week I had constipation. I too feel 'wet' even after I have thoroughly wiped myself. I agree, it is extremely embarrassing...It's frustrating and annoying, and I don't understand why it has been happening. As with all my other symptoms, it has gotten better over the last week or so, everything seems like it is getting back to normal. Have you gotten results from your MRI yet?

First of all Im sorry this is happening to you. I'm guessing you are both women this is happening to. There was just a thing on the news alittle while ago about this sorta thing happening to woman. I forget whats its called but after a woman would go to the bathroom they have this sorta thin happen. Theres a procedure that they can do now to resolve this from happening. They do it in an out procedure. It would be worth to just at least ask your doctor about. Good Luck and take care.

Hi All!

Thanks for all your replies! My Mri of the brain came back normal, so this past Friday they did an MRI of the cervical spine. It seemed to have taken longer than my other MRI's. I was in there for an hour. They did it w/ and w/o contrast. I hope I find out something by Monday. On Thursday I also had an EMG done which was normal. My other symptoms are:

-Fatigue
-Numbness and tingling
-My two big toes have a strange sensation (like their numb)
-Low back pain
-Burning sensation between my right shoulder blade and spine
-Lose my balance
-Speech problems
-My wonderful bowel problem as mentioned before
-Leg pain
-Hip pain
-Eyes are blurry
-After having my back massaged, I itch terribly
-Itching (all over)

That's most of them. Anyone else have any of these? Thanks again for all your help! Natalie
