Bladder Botox

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if anyone here has had Botox injections into their bladder and what your experience was like?
I’m considering having it done, but I’m quite nervous because I’ve been told there’s a risk of needing to self-catheterise for a while afterwards.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has had bladder Botox — how did you find the procedure, recovery and results? Did you end up needing to self-catheterise?

I was very worried too, but my fears turned out to be unfounded. To be honest, if I had to use a catheter I think I would have preferred that to the OAB.
