@misssassy The Botox injections did not require sedation, just numbing of the area. They pumped something into me and I had to move around to swish it around so the whole area would be numbed. Then the doctor administered shots into my bladder (or urethra?). Before doing this I had some testing to determine if this treatment would help my type of incontinence and the testing indicated that it would, and it did.
There is a high risk of getting a UTI from the process so they gave me five antibiotic pills to take daily to help ward that off but I got a UTI anyway. It was treated quickly and easily so no real problem.
I didn't realize just how much it was helping until it wore off. I am looking forward to the treatment next week. It does not help immediately for some reason, if I recall, it took about a week to really make a difference.
From what I was told, Medicare will pay for it if other treatments have not helped.
