Spinal alignment effects bladder?

1 Reply

I wanted to ask a question on my end,I notice when I sit down I tend not to feel my bladder at all, or the urge is less/gone. My question is does this sound like any condition? I am going to speak with my doctor in about 2 weeks because I think this could be part of MS but its like when sitting I don't always get the signal.

My first thought is that perhaps the pressure of sitting is doing something to a nerve so a signal isn't getting sent. Definitely discuss this with your physician and see if he/she can provide some insight into this or some help perhaps through physical therapy? Would love to see your thoughts here after seeing the physician and sharing with everyone.
