Ken
Thanks for replying
I’m usually an impatient person anyway but kinda frustrated that after 3 months I’m not seeing any improvement ?
The clamp gets me bye for an hour or so before it starts hurting so I’m usually just around the house.
Have Dr appt Dec 17th to discuss

I wear a condom catheter. I can sleep without it. I can do about anything I could before. I just need to wear long pants. I am ready for better solution but my surgery was 5 years ago. This might give you some time to see if things improve. I will caution that wearing it makes you not work on trying to hold it.

Are you using a Wiesner clamp? It comes with 3 different sizes and is comfortable to use. The clamp is only recommended to be worn for 2 hours, then you need to reposition it, like all clamps.

Amazon sells them.

Are you doing your Kegals? They DO work but take time. Again, 3 months is nothing in the scheme of things
