@lioness I do Kegels, yes. I went to pelvic floor PT and she had me doing them in a variety of ways and told me to not skip more than a day or it will regress. I have found that to be true, and right now because of my fracture I am finding them more difficult to do. She gave me such a variety of exercises to do, while doing the Kegels that I said to her I think she did that to make sure the patient does a very large number of Kegels. If she just said do 100 or 150 Kegels most people would not do that many. She sort of smiled so I think I was right!

I never tried Myrbetriq for the same reason, it was extremely costly. I was on Vesicare once but then got off of it, we thought it was causing a different problem. I would have gotten back on that but that too is very expensive with Medicare. I was on Trospium which was affordable (about $60 a month) but I want to get off of that because it can contribute to getting Alzheimer's, which is the last thing I want. I had Botox injections this week to help, and plan to report that on another stream.

Mybetriq saved my life. Kegels caused my pelvic floor to be too tight. If you feel an urgency, do 3 quick Kegels and the urge should pass long enough for you to get to a bathroom.
