I hardly ever stand at the toilet, Sparks.

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.

If not for my urologist putting me on vesicare I'd be peeing myself daily . It's happened so often I was seriously going to be in diapers . I still have the urgency but now I am able to hold it

I don't know if this advice will help any, but here goes...

When I was 6 years old. I decided to be a bit of a daredevil and ride a men's bicycle. I, fell, straight down onto the crossbar. I ended up in the hospital for close to two weeks. Had a vaginal/urethra reconstruction. I also had a bloodclot the size of a grapefruit, and there was doubt I could bear children. After they removed the catheter, one of my nurses explained Kegel Exercises to me. In order to build up the muscles in that region of my body.

I would recommend trying them daily, to see, if you could build those muscles back to strength, just because, of what I learned when I was 6.
