Hi @Vicki51, welcome to the Online Community! It's lovely to have you here.
I see that you have arthritis of the spine and hip and are experiencing bladder problems.
I found this information from Versus Arthritis' page on arthritis of the spine:
"Let your doctor know urgently if you:
- Have trouble going for a wee, or feel like you need a wee when you don’t
- Lose control of your bladder or bowel – the organs that control wee and poo
- Have feelings of numbness or tingling around your genitals or bottom
- Lose power in your legs
- Feel unwell – like having a fever or sweating."
Whether or not this issue is related to your arthritis I do hope you'll consider seeing your GP about it.
Please do keep us updated, and I hope you enjoy your time in the Online Community.
Best wishes, Sarah (moderator)
