A member asked:
By implanintg sacral nerve stimulation, will there be any feeling of uncomfortable while running, sleeping, playing sports or doing any activities?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Usually not: But everyone is different. If the implant is placed in the correct location and turned up high, patients usually can feel it in the perineum, legs and big toe. Most people do not need to have the device turned up that high to see a urinary benefit.

No: Typically, a nerve stimulator, interstim, is placed after a test period of time to ensure the stimulator is helping with the urge incontinence. If this is the stimulator you are referring to, it should not cause any problems.

Probably: It's usually minor. You could consider percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (ptns) if your doctor offers it. It's a little more time intensive but no implant. Check out urgent PC online. www.peedoc.com.
