I wouldn't buy into this "turns out I have no coordination and couldn't do it anyway" line. You didn't give up on learning to speak, or to read and write. Those things are by far more complicated than learning a bit about a group of muscles and how to control them.

@climateguy Well, when the first physio left, I was referred to another one. That referral was declined because I wasn't going to get any better at this & recommended an AUS.
Peter was seen today. He is three months post his radical prostatectomy. He is doing his
level best to try and find his pelvic floor. He is really unable to essentially isolate or perform
a pelvic floor contraction. It sounds like he also has difficulty with the posterior component
also of the pelvic floor. His PSA is undetectable with reference to his 4+3 prostate cancer. I
think given his current situation using so many pads that it is quite likely that he will end up
with an artificial urinary sphincter. We will therefore ask him to see Mr Mundy in three
months’ time for his next review to meet him initially and then put him on the waitlist for an
artificial urinary sphincter.
Kind regards
