My Uro did have an answer to incomplete voiding and bladder spasms. I don't know if it would work in your case. I took enablex for a month and it seemed to do the trick although I must admit that time was probably also a factor. Pat Priestley - (Alaska, USA)
Hey Phil,
I guess I forgot to mention that hydration played an important in getting over my painful symptoms with me drinking a gallon of water each day. Sure the urination was more frequent but diluted urine was much easier to pass than the dark golden stuff.

Hey Pat ... that's what they told me also. Drink tons of fluids (and, no they didn't exclude beer, thank God) but I couldn't drink that much. With frequency/urgency, I was going every 15 to 30 minutes (which, as I said, was why I had to knock off work for a few weeks).
Heck, I was practically homebound during the radiation treatments ... just going up to the store on the corner took preparation ... it was horrible.
