Hi, I have rrms. I have been getting like pressure feeling in stomach, feels like it could be uti,but it comes and goes.No pain when I go a toilet. I also have fibroid so wondered if it is that. Does anyone get this ?? Thanks for any answers.

I get a tensing bloated feeling, like as I’m pushing out my stomach on purpose but I’m not.

It not painful as such, but more of an uncomfortable tense bloated feeling.

I definitely think its MS related.

gabapentin makes my stomach bloated and i feel like a pregnant hippopotamus, so i no longer take it.

NB i am neither pregnant nor a hippo.

so it could well be the MS or perhaps one of the myriad of meds we take.

Yeah Carol I’ve thought it might be one of my meds but because its sort of intermittent its hard to pin it to anything !

Hi Jaydee,

It an odd feeling isn’t it .

It’s like your whole stomach pushes outwards swollen and hard.

I did mention it to my MS consultant, he said he’s come across all sorts of odd issues throughout the body with people who have MS and wouldn’t be at all surprised if this was related to the MS .

I find that MS symptoms are in general hard to explain, and this odd stomach thing is the same, I’m convinced it’s down to the MS, I can even remember when it started, just a few months after I was diagnosed, it’s not there every day, and lasts anything from a few minutes to a couple of hours.

Same here.I know we are not supposed to put everything down to our MS.But, theres that much that happens symptom wise to us, that we do tend put it down to that.I gave up mentioning stuff to the neuro as each time i have i have been told No that’s not MS,when i know for a fact that it must be.The longer you have had MS the more you realise they don’t know very much about MS at all.

100% correct.

I have things going on that were never there before the MS, yet it’s not very often the MS clinic will agree it’s down to the MS.
