Symptom 13. Urinary Problems: An Uncomfortable Reality

Imagine feeling a constant urge to urinate, having to plan your activities around restroom access, or feeling pain while urinating. It’s an inconvenience at best and significantly distressing at worst.
This symptom again reflects the systemic nature of fibromyalgia. Just like the gut, the bladder can also get entangled in the web of heightened sensitivity and pain that characterizes this condition.
