Urinary Tract Follies IV
As reported last week, my Interstim Implant has moved. What didn't dawn on me was that it could more even more. I can be soooo dense. Anyhoo, today I started getting shocked (not just zotzed) in my tailbone. That is so not supposed to happen - especially during business meetings. I did quite a bit of "sudden shifting" in my chair. It now appears as if the implants have not only moved but are now almost free floating. I was getting zotzed and shocked all over the place. I finally had to turn the Implant off this evening. Which is a total no-no but things are completely out of hand.
Also, I saw my gyn Nurse Practioner yesterday. She did a very thorough exam. My bladder and urethra are actually in good shape. Zippo pain. However, my pelvic floor muscles are one giant contracted hairball. Which explains much of the pain I'm experiencing.
So, all of this is coming together like a train wreck - my implant has gone bonko and my poor pelvic floor, which was having issues before, has gone completely out of control. What all of this means is I have to go back on amitriptyline and at a full dose. sigh...There goes my improved heart rate. After eight months of effort - having the implant implanted and weaning myself off of amitriptyline, I had finally got my heart rate down by ten beats per minute, which meant I could skate ski again. This is depressing. Really depressing. sigh...
I was going to wait until after ski season to have my implant fixed. But, now, what's the point of waiting? I'll probably have it fixed in February/March time frame.
