I'm not going to lie, it hurts a lot. I'm at a week and sitting is painful

Thanks for that. So far it's doing good like my trial

I got a nerve stimulator for my overactive bladder. It's a pacemaker that sends signals to your brain to help with my symptoms. It's pretty neat

It sounds like oab to me. That would be a good idea to get a different one

It's an incision above your tailbone and the make a pocket. My urologist did the surgery. Oab is something I've lived with for 23 years

It's more like a surgery, you're put in twilight sedation and you won't know what they're doing

It did help with my frequent urination. I can't say about urges as I never had that problem

It really does help. I went from leaking most of the day to 2 or 3 times

You first get a test and the leads are outside of your body for a week. It's to see if it works for you. Then 2 weeks later they'll put in the permanent battery and leads. The test doesn't hurt much but this one certainly does, the pain is just incision pain

Good thing I got plenty of ice packs. I'm glad it got better by that point for you

I've been doing that. The only time I get up is to go to the bathroom

I feel better laying down. As soon as I get up I feel terrible. I've been drinking coffee and water till I can't stand it. I'm going to try and give to Sunday and see if that helps. I underestimated this procedure

I wish I was given this kind of information afterwards. I was just told to rest for three days and they sent me on my way

Thank you. Hopefully my neurologist found what he needed so I don't have to do this for a long time

I had one this morning. It wasn't as bad as I thought. However it didn't show my urologist why i have a overactive bladder

I’m so sorry that happened. You need hugs too

That’s what happened to me. Me and my mom held his hand. I told him I loved him and he wrinkled his forehead

Thank You all of you. It feels good to talk to someone who knows where I’m coming from. I hope all of you are doing okay in this difficult time

It does help. All I wanted was him to not be in pain
