Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

Myrbetriq is a prescription medication used to treat over-reactive bladder. One of its side effects include inability to empty your bladder, pain and slow urine stream.
In such cases, I highly recommend to get back to the doctor who prescribed Myrbetriq and report this side effect to take proper measures.

Meanwhile, I advise to take mephenamic acid for the pain until you see your doctor.

All the best!
Dr.Albana
