Hello again!
I have Modtronic Pain implant for failed Laminectomy, A nerve stimulater for bladder control?
My nerves a bad @ L-4 and L-5! I'm going ask my Pain Management DR. about that, E-Stim Edevice
Gabapentin does nothing for me.
Do you have to lay flat to see a Urologist? I can"t lay flat due to my failed Laminectomy.
Spine is a mess from S-1 up to L-5.
Thank You so much!!
Must be sooo cold out there!!!!!
I wish we had more help for Small Fiber Neuropathy!

Yes, it is a Medronic implant for bladder control.
Again, let me state I made a huge mistake in my earlier post. I take MYRBETRIQ for bladder control, not gabapentin.
No, you do not have to lay down to see a urologist. The only time I had to lay down on my back was when they used a specific CT to measure residual bladder contents, and, with an explanation of your failed laminectomy, a urologist can work around that. The CT for residual bladder contents is a new technique; they had previous methods that they can go back to. Best of luck to you!
