Dr moldwin visit/interstim etc......

[lmccusker]

I saw Dr moldwin on Friday, he suggested several things to me some I'm already doing and some I am not.
1. I am taking baths but he wants me to use aveeno bath but I'm nervous it will irritate me
2. He suggested an urgent pc I believe it's called that it goes in your ankle and stimulates a nerve. I researched and it seems this is for frequency I suffer retention.
3.yoga
4.im inserting 10mg Valium vaginally twice a day he said that is fine to keep with.
5. I started taking rapaflo 2 days ago I see a slight change but nothing great......anyone know how long till this med works?
6. He feels I would be a good candidate for interstim.....this scares the cap out of me!!!! Who has interstim for retention does it work? Are the risks really bad??????
7. He prescribed doxicyline as well since my urethra is always burning.

Any other suggestions for me I quit my job last week and I feel out of options. ...oh and I'm taking elmiron, ativan, just started desert harvest, and probiotics. My main problem by far is my retention......followed by my horrible burning raw feeling urethra..........help me out with some thoughts please!!!

Re: Dr moldwin visit/interstim etc......

Hmmm . . First, I am sorry you are feeling this way. My heart goes out to you. I am wondering about using a muscle relaxant other than ativan for the retention. I find baclofen works when I have retention and it relieves the pressure. I am also considering the interstim. However, I am doing it for frequency. I would like to have a permanent solution rather than having to have botox every so many months. Who knows?
