2498,
You probably have read in the previous post on scar tissue that I did experience a stricture. But since my leaking never did let up and since my bladder never did fill up while I was up and walking around, my symptoms were not the same as you are experiencing. Had my spincter began working after surgery, I probably would have had those symptoms.
I too dreaded the process of removing the stricture because I feared I never would regain continence. I never did but uro said it had nothing to do with the stricture. Perhaps this will encourage you. But more than encouraging you, I really hope you are staying in closse touch with your uro. Perhaps you are, but you did not state it in your post.
Are you experiencing any blood in your urine? That was the main symptom I had. When I would walk my two miles per day, my pad would show blood. But since you evidently do not leak the way I did...do, you probably would not notice any blood in urine.
Whatever the problem, be assured the docs can help. This disease is never easy to deal with and I know by experience it produces all kinds of negative emotions, but your docs can help.
