default
Posted on Mon, 29 Sep 2014
Question: hi I am very concerned been to my Dr's again today because of uti pins and needles in toes and new onset of full incontinence i have had the uti more then 2 weeks half way through second lot of antibiotics and sent of another msu sample for culture and sensitivity. The Dr told me I am to be patient and is symptoms of uti and to do another msu. I am not convinced this incontinence is very distressing as woke up several times during last couple nights wet through despite having incontinent knickers on and during day I changing nearly every hour as wet and not knowing I am urinating the pain has settled since second course of antibiotics but still have temperature. I still have pins and needles in toes as well. I stressed my concerns but she just said I have not to worry as when uti settled I will get full use of my bladder back. I not convinced if anything it seems to be getting worse. I seem to be spending most of your time in toilet to try practice use of bladder muscles no XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
surgical intervention

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I need some more information to answer your question.

Do you have diabetes? Also please post your specific concern.

If you are not satisfied with bladder exercises, you may ask for surgical intervention and there are even few medications to control your symptoms of incontinence.

Awaiting reply.

hi I don't have diabetes and this is new incontinence exercises I do are what I learnt when had my last child 6 years ago. However I have been prone to uti for dome years and after tests urodynamics etc was told had over active bladder 2 years ago but only had slight urgency so told nothing physio can offer and just wear panty loners in case leakage before git to toilet. my specific concern is tingling toes and that I am so ked through all day and night due to not knowing when I need to urinate only time I know is when I am in of flow and toes ate tingling.I also took vesicare tablets to help with urgency which helped however I stopped when uti stated 2 weeks ago. I am worried that this new onset of total incontinence will not stop once uti has cleared up as seems to be getting worse and has started 3 days ago.

Brief Answer:
Neurophysician as well

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There is chance that your symptoms might regress to some extent once UTI is completely treated.

However, tingling toes is of specific concern. You need an appointment with a Neurophysician as well to rule of peripheral neuropathy or peripheral vascular disease etc, which are usually caused by long term smoking, hypertension and diabetes etc. Please get evaluated for these. In addition to tingling toes, bladder dysfunction can also be caused by the suspected neuropathy and vascular conditions.

Thanks!
