I had a serious fall about four months ago and wound up with a large hematoma on my right buttock. I was in rehab facilities for 2 1/2 months and was Foley catheter the entire time now that I’m out I can only urinate a little and I have to get the rest out with self Catheter.Is it possible to use a tinns unit to trigger the muscle or how can you trigger the nerve?Allen

@alleng,

I moved your discussion and combined it with a discussion titled:

"Pelvic Lymphedema treatments for excess urination problem"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pelvic-lymphedema-treatments-for-excess-urination-problem/

While it is noted that you have the opposite issue of title of this discussion, members here talked about PT and other rehab techniques for retraining their pelvic floor muscles to help with urinary symptoms and issues.

@hanksgt posted in great detail about trying PT as well as a nerve stimulator tens unit and I'd like to invite him back to share any updates with what he experienced and has learned sine first posting.

@alleng, have you had a conversation with your provider about a tens unit to trigger the nerve? Was a timeline given for if and when your muscles/nerves would recover and regain function?
