I used to a retainer, and had to cath. Now I have lost control of my bladder, and go through tons of depends. I wish medicare would cover the cost of depends!.
My uroligist just offered me a new treatment called Urgent PC. You go once a week for 12 weeks. They stick a slim needle near the ankle and hook you up to a device that delivers percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation. It takes 30 minutes. the device delivers mild electrical impulses which travel up the nerves in the leg to the nerves in your bladder.
Has anybody else used this treatment , and what results did you get? I have to check and see if medicare covers the treatment.
