Anyone had this? I’m having to make a decision wether I live with self catheterisation or have this op. I also have lots of other problems and pain so I’m wanting answers on what the implant is like.
what does it look like?
Can you feel it sitting down? Laying down? Do you have to lay or sit a certain way? I’m worried this will make my pain worse if I have to adjust these things.
What about seating like those in a rollercoaster? Weird question but having suffered through a couple rides with my kids this weekend where I struggled with where to put my phone that isn’t my back pocket I was wondering if in such confined hard seating the implant will be bothersome? I’m not a very padded individual not alot of fat to hide it under and it looks like it’s put at the surface anyway? I googled what it looks like but the pictures are all of the op happening or diagrams I want to know what it’s like when healed and functioning.
anyone done it and regretted doing it? My consultant says it’s a minor procedure and if it doesn’t work is basically the worst thing that will happen then they will just take it out. Then she listed loads of potential risks that she “just has to mention” so I feel like she’s downplayed alot to push me for this.
what’s the recovery like? I have a toddler and a high needs autistic 7 year old who has the occasional violent meltdown where I have to block him from his sibling or restrain him. Will this be within my capability the day after the op?
it sounds life changing really but I’m finding I don’t trust the NHS as I’ve been degenerating and not listened to and dr seems more interested in giving me this implant than finding out why different nerves of mine are failing and things continue to get worse.
