My neurologist has been pushing me to get botox injections. I know someone who had gotten them and it was successful.
Debbie I know how restrictive bladder issues can be. I had several prolapse surgeries all of which caused their own set of problems.

I just had a Supra Pubic Catheter placed today. Had surgery this morning and now I'm back home. Pretty sore but I have pain meds!!

I heard about the Botox therapy but my Urologist didn't seem to be too keen on that....at least for me......thought this would be a more permanent fix. I hope it works. And if you get Botox I hope that works for you. Incontinence is such a pain in the rear to deal with.

Remember when we were younger and never even thought about issues like these? I want those days back again!!!
