Trying to pee when in pain.

Bit of a strange question but for those who live with chronic pain do you have trouble with trying to pee when you have a really bad pain day? I struggle to I suppose relax to be able to stand pee when I’m having a bad pain day. I’ve tried sitting but it doesn’t help.

I'm in a lot of pain at the mo from Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis and yes it takes me a while to 'let go'. Probably worth mentioning to a doc though as it can be a nerve problem. Good luck. (Female)

Yes I have the same problem. I run the cold tap and try to relax my muscles and at the same time Itry to imagine the pee working it's way down and out of me. I also think you should discuss this with your GP in case there is an underlying cause for it. Good luck DonutEater.

Thank you for your replies I’m glad I’m not the only one who has this problem.

Just a thought here. If you are taking pain killers for your pain, they have a tendency to deaden all nerves in the body and may have an effect on your pee sphincters.

Not what you're looking for?
