I had a Botox injection in the bladder (trigone) and external urinary sphincter at the beginning of the summer. It took a couple of weeks to kick in, but I felt much improved for a few months. It wasn't a cure for me, but made life much more manageable. No hesitancy or retention either. I'm planning to go for another appointment soon.

cgirard,
I am so glad to hear the botox treatment worked for you although short time the relieve must have been wonderful. I am just over 4 weeks and I had a horrible day of spasms a few days ago. I am a bit better now but I still dont feel like myself. I feel like I have to go to the bathroom even when I dont.
I am on meds for frequency I take twice daily the doc suggested to take one.
I am scared that it is going to get worse. If I stop meds. I really hope the full effects of the botox kick in soon because I dont have much faith in this treatment thus far. The recovery has been long. If anyone else has anymore info. on their progress it would be appreciated Thanks
