Hi Katherine,

Katherine when I had the InterStim Implant done, I had back pain and it was very sore up to two months after the surgery..
Is it just pain you are having or is your back very sore as well??
I was told it due to all the cut muscles and nerves and it did go away after the second month for me..
It is a good idea to keep your doctor aware of any kind of pain you are having.

I wish you all the best Katherine and so glad this procedure is working for you..

Hugs, Debbie

Katherine---------I am sooooooooo glad that things are going well for you. Be sure to take
it easy for a couple more weeks so that you don't move anything. My back hurt for a couple months after the surgery, but it's fine now. Glad to see
another happy camper!
Kathy :cool:

Doctor gave me Lidorem lidocaine patches they are great have any of you heard of them??

[SusanC]

Never heard of those patches....tell us more please....perhaps they're what I need to relieve these #@%n trigger points.

Tell your doc about ANY aches...even tho' many of us have had a backache (mine lasted a week), you must let him know...as I see you did or he wouldn't have given you patches, right? Sometimes these drugs make me so stupid that I don't realize that the answer to a question was right within your post! banghead

Anyway, keep up the good work! hi

Hi,
I love my Interstim....it is hard to be patient but sometimes it takes time to get the settings right and heal from the surgery. It's not for everyone, but it is for me. Good luck, Tina C. hi
