Too Soon To Tell
I have only had it once so far but it was VERY painful for the first 15 minutes then it got better (they kept the catheter in for 30 mins then drained the medicine out). Then about 20 minutes later the burning & stinging & urgency came back & it was EXCRUCIATING for about 7 hours & I am still in a lot of pain but the burning & stinging has finally stopped. It has been about 24 hourse since I had it done now. But, I am going to stick w/ it weekly.
Bex is very much in pain for a week after her treatment. its too early to tell if its working
i am done with the 6 treatments. some days i feel as though it may have helped a little.
I don't think I can hold it for the 30 min
PAINFUL, VERY PAINFUL!
