Default another question
Since having the implant, my bladder function has improved dramaticly. Has anyone experienced that? Have a great day.

Smile Huh
I am happy for you Spine!

Regarding moi, when the stim is up a bit on the high side, frankly the function can be too active, so making it to the restroom without and accident is sometimes beyond my capability. One of life's little inconveniences.

Default hi mark
I am guessing it depends, at least in part, in the location of the leads. The bladder stim is very similar to the spinal. The bladder has three nerves which performs different functions. I know my lowest lead is just above where one of the "bladder" leads might go. Hmmmmm. It is a true joy not to need to go every hour or so. Life is good.

Kinda like being gifted a longer leash so you can move farther and farther away from crisis "where is the restroom" management.

Thrilled for you,
