Inactive bladder with NO elasticity remaining

I self Cath but not nearly 10 times a day....(seems like a lot) I average 5 times a day - maybe more if I have a few beers. The art of self cath is not so much an issue as ensuring you have enough wherever you go. I too struggle with that and wish there was another alternative. I know my bladder was somewhat weak going into the Urolift operation but I still do not understand why it completely fell asleep. I'm looking for some new method to try to knick it into somewhat of a gear so I don't have to rely on 100% cath. I heard acupuncture but not sure....anyone out there able to get their bladder to work after they said its "dead" .... something to stimulate the nerves?

Thank you for your comments. Yes, anxiety over not having catheters always at hand. A big risk if traveling with the frequency of lost baggage. I haven’t completely given up, but it’s tough, as you know. Tom.
