So, the colon surgeon is going to have me try Sacral Neuromodulation. I am going to try the test out before we go with the full one. My doctor said that they consider 50% improvement enough to do the full implant. My response is that a 50% improvement in the pain is not enough. Well, the doctor warned me that this will likely not do anything for my pain.
I asked again, then why do this because my urologist ruled it out for the urinary side of things already.
The thought is that this could help my bowel accidents and maybe constipation so they can get me off the medications I am on.
I still feel that this is a nother hail mary pass but it is better than the big ostomy surgery.
I did ask the doctor the likelihood that I still end up with an ostomy he said that this is another bandage to try to get me off medication with the hope that it fixes some of my issues.
I figure it is worth trying before life-altering surgery.
Not holding my breath that it will work enough though.
