Retention problem symptoms and conditions

Been prescribed Flomax for urine spraying / retention problem. The doctor didn't think it was absolutely necessary, so asked me to take one pill every two days. Just took the 4th pills and had some bad side effects. Almost fainted twice. I have never fainted in my life and am physically fit, can run a half-marathon without any discomfort. Other side effects include dizziness and weakness, blurry vision, stuffy nose, etc. It doesn't seem to help on my spraying / retention symptoms either. On the days I don't take Flomax I feel perfectly fine. I will stop taking this medicine as the side effects are a lot worse than the symptom it's trying to cure.

I am a female taking narcotic pain medication due to a back injury. Those pills make it hard to pee. My doc put me on Flomax to help me empty my bladder. I have had swollen sinus every night when I sleep. I have extreme elbow, wrist and finger pain that lasts all day/night long. My legs and knees are very stiff and sore. If I stand on my feet for more than a couple of minutes, my soles ache. I feel extremely tired and exhausted. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!! Now that I am off of it, my retention problem is worse than ever before. I wish I would have seen this web page before starting this horrible drug.
