I wear every night because I have really bad back problems. I have been diapered every night for about 2 years now because about 2 years ago, my back started getting so bad that I couldn't get out of bed in the morning and started having wetting and messing accidents because I couldn't make it to the bathroom in time. Last August, I threw my back out and was totally incontinent for about 2 weeks. I didn't have insurance at the time so I couldn't see a doctor about it. The issue very slowly got better and now I am what I would consider partially bladder and bowel Incontinent. Since last August, I have been wetting and messing in my sleep. During the day, if I stay at home, I can usually make it to the bathroom so I normally don't wears a diaper. If I go out, I always need to wear a diaper because I frequently have accidents. My doctor knows of all of my back and incontinence issues and wants me to see a spine specialist. I told her I will never get surgery on my spine because everyone I know that has had spinal surgery wishes they didn't get the surgery because they all say they are worse off now than before the surgery. I do plan to see a spine specialist in the near future to see if I can get a back brace to at least alleviate the pain. I know the incontinence is here to stay because by now the damage to the nerves that control my bladder and bowels is most likely permanent.
