Bowel & Bladder problems

[ruby ben]

My muscles started atrophing (sorry wrong spelling) with my foot and has progressed slowly up one leg to my bum. I am starting to have trouble with my bowels and bladder. Is this to be expected? What do you suggest to take daily, weekly?? for my bowels?

When you say "trouble," do you mean difficulty in going or not enough warning or having to go too often?

I have not been on this site for several years. Dr. tells me I am a turtle! I am having trouble finding where to put in a thread. Anyway, I really really want to thank all of your who replied to my problem. I am going out tomorrow to buy more pads and Milk of Magnesia. Thanks everyone.
