Anyone deal with pain post AUS 800 activation?

just when I am almost ready to have the AUS put in, a message will pop up that makes me nervous again. I have been using condom catheter every day the last 6 years. While this is a terrible inconvenience, I am reluctant to add more trouble. I still consider myself lucky though. No other treatment.

@tuckerp I would encourage you to try an incontinence clamp (I use Wiesner on Amazon $39, but best to try a few for fit and comfort). I began using the clamp after using external catheters (which wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy) while deciding on whether to proceed with a surgical option. The clamp works so well I never looked back.
Note: Although the makers and doctors advise not to wear more than 2-3 hours at a time, I’ve been wearing it for 18-20 hours every day for 4 years. I use one Tena pad a day so not to ratchet the clamp overly tight. It’s been a comprehensive fix with which there are no limitations to the cloths that can be worn or the things that can be done. You owe yourself a look at it.
