I have had it for a while now. I have an interstem. Medtronic makes it. It is an implanted nerve stimulator. I strongly do not recommend this device if you have balance or nerve issues. Mine never worked and now I have all kinds of problems, such as testicular pain and highly overactive bladder. I know people that think it's fantastic. I also took the pills and they didn't work either.

My experience is with the overactive part also. I knew long ago they could give me a pill , but i never did. I prefer peeing more often , and that is often ,whether i drink any liquids or not. I dehydrated myself once to check, i go pee regular every half hour or so. And i get the sweats at the same time. I will never again br able to take the airplane, as those are the things they watch for in terrorists, so go figure. And i spent two weeks younger going thru test after test, nothing so go figure some more

When I had Traction on my Cervical Spine on the 4th time. My bladder was over active and after I had Surgery it went back to normal.The Urologist gave me pills to take and it gave me a Uniary track Infection just before my Surgery

Bedbound is nasty but thats also not nice always your catheter with you and never go out for a walk again. I have pudendus nerve damage luckley i can walk 1 or sometimes 2 miles but the pain was / is horrible. Have to say i have some relieve the last 3 weeks. I am very blessed after 5 years some progress.
Wish you all the best Rusty this is the body we have to do it with we can t buy another. If it was so we were going both shopping with big bags and all our savings. Ik bought then a new pelvic and a new knee and a new bladder. 3 for the prise of 2 in the after holiday sales.
