Feeling of Bladder spasms

When I awake in the morning after only 3 to 4 hours sleep my visit to the toilet results in a fairly strong urine flow. However, when I return to bed I have what I call bladder spasms that radiate throughout my body. Definitely can't ignore them and no returning to sleep. I am compelled to try the toilet again multiple times but only a minor dribble ensues.
Does anyone else experience this? Anyone know what's going on and recommend any treatment for relief?
My surgeon has the same old mantra "be patient".

Pretty much since the surgery. However, these symptoms have become more apparent since I have a reasonable condition during the day - using maybe 3 pads. I wear the depends pants at night and I wake up with those dry. This sensation is only apparent after that first urination in the morning and lasts until I get up for work. I have tried Vesicare, Myrbetriq and Rapaflow but they don't provide any relief.

Have you asked if botox would be a good solution to the bladder spasms? They inject into the detrusor muscle and let me tell you its like a miracle relief wise but eventually fades and has to be repeated periodically. I think this may be more common in women to get it done, but it can be done in office via cysto and is covered by insurance.

Might be worth mentioning to your doc and advocating to try it. The difference in comfort and quality of life is incredible.

I was born with malformed urinary tract and bladder, so it doesn't function well and nerves leading to it are also whack so neurogenic bladder as well thanks to spina bifida occulta. I have leakage and varying types of incontinence- stress, urge, etc. (have all my life) but the botox also took that away completely which was a pleasant surprise. The doc warned me I may have to cath if it goes awry for a few months (with my bladder issues) but only had to for a few days just to make sure I was emptying properly.

I will do it again, just once more settled and can actually have some MD appointments for myself instead of hubby.

Best thing? I could jump on a trampoline and run!

Interesting. Sounds like you are having a great recovery. Congrats...
