Can nerve problems be excluded as cause for urinary urge/frequency problems when the urodynamic examination was negative?
I'm wondering if not compressions in the spinal cord or especially in the lumbar vertebra (e.g. L5/SI) or sacrailiac joint could be the reason for problems in the urinary tract.
What do you think?
Has anybody experiences with osteopathy to check?

Re: Urodynamic and nerve problems
No. The only thing that can be ruled out is abnormally active motor nerves. As a test of motor symptoms (muscle contraction), urodynamics cannot tell you how your sensory system is functioning.MBey wrote:Can nerve problems be excluded as cause for urinary urge/frequency problems when the urodynamic examination was negative?
Possible, but I doubt it. Especially if you have other symptoms of nerve compression, it might be worth getting it checked out to see if a nerve is being compressed; however, usually these kinds of tests turn out normal.I'm wondering if not compressions in the spinal cord or especially in the lumbar vertebra (e.g. L5/SI) or sacrailiac joint could be the reason for problems in the urinary tract.

I was at a pain specialist today at he recommended to try a nerve blockade of the hypogastric nerve by an injection of a local anesthetic.
Thus, it could be possible to decrease the urinary urge for about 2-4 hours.
If so, a therapy by radio frequencies on that nerve could be an opionion to decrease the urinary frequency in the long run.
What do you think - any experiences, opinions?

Please ignore my post as I didn't read your other post first. I agree with Carld that Elvila works good for frequency but in my case it was at 50mg and over that I found the best level for relief. I not longer get up every 2 hours to urinate.
