I don't know about your previous operation but I have had bladder dysfunction and retention as well. I have a sub-pubric catheter and Botox for retention. I had Botox injections in my bladder and it works fine but I need follow-up. I moved out of area so my GP is trying to find another doctor for injections

Hi sorry for the delay in replying, I had my botox on the 25th Jan this year, they said it could take at least 2 weeks for it to kick in, I dont know which of my problems it will help I have overactive bladder and stress incontinence, I am hoping it works I dont know what else I can do. If you have moved to Lancashire the RAEI in Wigan have a very good team, hope everythig goes well. Thanks for replying.

I'm due to have it done for mixed incontinence, but I'm really worried about the possibility of having to self-catheter... from what I've read some people have to do it for months on end and get dreadful urine infections as well.... If I turn this down, I'll be back to square one as the bulking agent didn't work...
