It’s when you cry just a little, but you laugh in the middle, that you’ve made it…

September 29th 2005 in Journal

Can you sprain your urethra? I’m just curious because I think I sprained mine. I’ve been drinking lots of water lately, and anyone who knows me knows I have Tiny Bladder Syndrome™. For those of you who don’t know me well enough to know this, Tiny Bladder Syndrome™ means I am constantly having to pee; I can’t take more than a two hour road trip without having to stop to pee. I barely make my one hour commute to work without having to stop. In any event, all the extra water is making with the constant having to pee, hence the sprained urethra.

If you can sprain your urethra, what would you do for it? The prospect of icing it (unless we’re talking about applying some sugary confection that would then be licked off, but I don’t see how that would help my sprain) isn’t a pleasant one and I can’t even conceive of how I would go about elevating it.

Is it ice or heat for a sprain? Heat might not be so bad.

you *sprained* your urethra? Are you sure it’s not a bladder infection?

Pretty sure. How could I get a bladder infection from too much water?

You can get urinary tracit infections from an awful lot of things. Too much water might in fact do it, who knows. And you can strain the muscles if you try to hold things in too long.
See a doctor if it isn’t better by end of day?

I think it’s that whole strained muscle thing you mentioned. Hence my use of the word sprain. Plus, I just though the concept of a sprained urethra was damned funny. Heh.
