Anyone have sacral neuromodulation (InterSTIM) for bladder issues?

I recently did the stim test. I noticed a big improvement in urinary & fecal issues. The only problem I had was that it was very uncomfortable & hard to sit. Even when the test was over & wires taken out, I had some pain by my tail bone. Is that usual? Would it be like that with the implant also? I’m trying to makeup my mind about doing this.

Did the pain go away? Did you decide to do the implant? I plan to do the trial install in November, that is why I want to learn as much as possible from the actual experiences of others.

That's nice that the test you had helped you. However it's too bad you were uncomfortable afterwards. Did you ask your doctor about it?
Before you do the implant you might want to give that area of your body a rest for a while. Also do some research and see what side effects you can expect. The Mayo Clinic website is a good place to get that information.
Prayer always helps. After all God made you and he can fix you. I'll say a prayer for you also.
