still dripping

i had rp on sept 13, 2010. cath. out after 10 days, at frist i was going through 8 to 10 diapers a day. after about a month i was on to pads still 8 to 10. i tried walking but like you would fill up a pad in know time. i knew i had to exercise so i dusted off my old nordic track ski machine and gave it a try and guess what no leaking. the way you have to lean into the hip pad makes you tighten your pelvic floor muscules while you are using it. i new this had to be good so i worked myself up to 30 min. 5-6 days a week. now i am using 1 pad in 24 hours and there is not very much in it, just a little wet spot in the middle. i am completley dry at night. and take the dog for a 2 mile walk after work and don't leak. i still leak after sitting a long time, lifting and snezzing, but its only a tiny, tiny bit. i really think that it was the nordic track that helped me recover as fast as i am.

Arch,

Many of us old timers just keep on saying give it time. It sounds like you are on the slow track, but making improvement. Sometimes it seems guys just try too hard, and it appears to make it make it worse, but you are building strength in the muscles.

When you do kegels and walking, it can make your muscles too tired. Maybe cut down on the walking, or the keels, or both and see if it gets any better.

It took me 8 months, and then it was almost overnite. I have a very active job which causes me to walk, climb ladders, etc. I did not do much additional exercise.

Good luck on your journey to dry pants.
