Better than a kegel?

I just crossed one year post RP, and remain slightly incontinent.  It's been frustrating dealing with the occasional leak, and having to always be prepared.  My uro says kegel, but I've been desperate to DO SOMETHING to help.  The kegels didn't seem to be helping much.  A few weeks back, someone on this forum suggested leg lifts.  I added them to my excercise routine, and I think it works!

So, if you are borderline continent, try doing leg lifts.  With this disease, and the side effects of treatment, it's hard to determine a definitive cause/effect relationship with anything.  But, I'm convinced the leg lifts improved continence.  Maybe the docs don't know that yet.  Or maybe I'm just nuts.  Try it.

here is one link for how to do leg lifts randomabs.com/exercises/howto/?show=Leg_Lift

you can also do hanging leg lifts ( easier on my lower back (scoliosis) and helps add flexibility) www.bodybuilding.com/fun/simon7.htm

-you are using same area of muscles as in a kegel - but broader group - so if one part is weaker (part of the pelvic floor) the rest gang up and help support it....

-good luck with your exercises and doing your best to be dry.
