I have intermittant incontinence and fibromyalgia, but today the Urologist has told me that I have the bladder for a 70 year old man with prostate problems (im a 52year old woman) and wants me to try taking Tamsulosin and to stop taking Co-Codamol that I take for chronic pain. Any advice please. My incontinence is quite irregular (usually 1 week in 4/6) but can get so bad that I can not control my bladder and I wet myself. I can not leave the house unless I am wearing incontinence pants and know exactly where I am going and that there are toilets nearby. Any advice on what I can do that does not include taking this drug, as the side affects sound quite unpleasant. Thanks
I have fibro and incontinence, it can be a symptom of fibro. iv had all the test and been on all the drugs, because they can not find the cause of the incontinence they cant do anything to help apart from the drugs. They did help for day time but made me wake up at as much as 10 times at night to go to the toilet, so had to stop. I just use pads to manage it
