      I’m getting my Axonics stimulator placed on January 25th for severe urinary retention. This thread helped me out too! I’m crazy nervous, but I’ll come back after the procedure to check in 😊

        @xoxcaitxox Did it improve your symptoms? To what degree? I get really bad urinary retention and that's why we're considering it
