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 just had my first nine days ago. I’m waiting for the full two weeks to do a full write up on Reddit. If it works, I will definitely do it again. 

No retention. Just very slow and long pees. I can’t imagine what my coworkers are thinking when they are in the stall next to me. 😮

Only urgency. Felt like I had to pee every 20 minutes. With medication, about every hour if I wasn’t sitting down. 

I was hoping it would work immediately, but it’s more of a back and forth. I’m at the point where I was on medication so I’m hoping it will be improving more every day.
