Not sure where to post this. So I put it here. I went to my URO today and she gave me a brochure on URGENT PC it is a process that is done in the drs office once a week for 12 weeks. It is suppose to help with urge/frequency kind of like Interstim. Has anybody gone through this?????

I have heard of it. The treatments are once a week for 12 weeks. The treatments involve sticking a small needle into the muscles above your ankle. I was going to start the weekly treatments but my doc just discharged me because I apparently have too many problems. The representatives at Uroplasty are great. I was working with a man named Paul Sandstrom. He will help you contact your insurance company to make sure the treatments are covered.
Here is the Urgent PC website:

is the sans related to or the same as the interstim? are you using this for your ic? This sounds really interesting. I am going in for a revision and getting the newer stim.'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'

It is not implanted like the Interstim. Read Jill's journal about it. It is to help with frequency/urge. I haven't decided to do it, one it requires going into the office once a week, that would be about 4 hours out of my day, and two the doctor was not sure Insurance would pay for it.Comment
