Incontinence and pain in hands?

I really think people from physicians to nurses to patients should begin to believe women when they say their arms down through their fingers hurt like an intense spasm when they bear down to urinate while currently having a uti. I thought I was the only one crazy, but have since read of others experiencing this. My primary care physician nor my urologist has never heard of this and can’t seem to find an explanation. They just look at me strangely and shrug their shoulders. Time to figure this out, folks!

I also have pain in my hands when I pee if I have a UTI. When I mentioned it to my Dr. he looked at me like I was crazy. I'm 65 and had hysterectomy many years ago. What is even more strange is that the same pain is now all over my body and no one knows what it is. Any advise on how to explain this to my Dr or what it is.

Hi @cassylassie, Welcome to Connect. I’ve actually had this happen a few years ago. In my case it was a link to a central nervous condition that I had developed with a recent medical procedure. So my neurologist knew the cause as they were combined with my other symptoms.
But I was curious when I saw your post, along with other members so I did a quick search online. There are a number of articles I found online relating to this unusual intense, painful spasming in the arms and fingers while urinating.
This was one of the more comprehensive articles but please be aware there are ads linked to this site…you don’t want to go down a rabbit hole of misinformation. ☺️

Has this only happened while you have a UTI?
