My doctor has been speaking to me about the interstim for almost a year now. He brought it up initially as a "last resort" sort of procedure after trying multiple meds first.
OK, a year and 3 surgeries later we have been down that road. Since my hysterectomy last December, my bladder and urethral spasms have really gone out of control. The only med I can tolerate for them is Klonopin but as we discussed, I cannot stay on this drug permantly. I have always been adament against Interstim but I am looking into long term solutions now.
Has anyone had the Interstim implanted for spasms? My frequency and urgency are controlled now through Elmiron. Pain is still a real problem due to the spasms and severe pfd.
If anyone has any first hand info- please let me know, I would really like to hear from you.
THANKS!!!!!
