I am scheduled for an appointment shortly for the implantation of
"Interstim" ( sacral nerve stimulation to treat my bladder , nothing worked before and I have MM ). I am not very clear as to what I am going to get on the firstbappointment ( 1-2 weeks test, stimulator taped on my back before final inside implantation ), despite my questions .
Has anyone undergone the proprocedure ? and could comment on it and its efficacy ?
J would appreciate. Thank you

Fellow members @stephenluptak @catharbert @asegura @frances007 @mermaiden have mentioned getting sacral nerve stimulation for fecal incontinence or bladder isses and may be able to share personal experiences.
