Finally got the Solesta injections today. Got to the waiting room early to make sure I wouldn't be late. I waited in the waiting room for almost an hour and I was getting all nervous as to maybe they couldn't find it or it got pulled off the market or something (as my luck would indicate)Finally it was my turn: first they made me take an enema. After I pooped everything out I was told to lie on my stomach with my knees on a pedestal and it began. I couldn't believe it was finally happening. They told me I may feel some slight pressure but that was definitely an understatement as it was pretty damn painful. It felt basically how a rod inserted into your rectum should feel but I also felt pain/pressure in my testicles (sorry if I'm being graphic) which they said is normal as the rectum is right near it.They did 4 injections total and said I should come back after a month to see how i'm progressing. After that I was free to leave. 2 hours after the procedure I still feel some slight pain in my testies and abdomen but nothing too terrible. So there you go. Hopefully this is the start of a cure for me although the optimal results can take up to 3 months and they're not sure if this even lasts longer than 2 years so this may not be a long term solution. I'm hoping and praying that this will work on my fbo and lg because the doc said it's meant for plain old incontinence and not what I have, but it cannot hurt (figuratively at least)I'll update you guys from time to time as to how I'm progressing.

Good for you bro I'm excited for you!

Thanks guys for all the encouragement. It's 2 days after the procedure and I feel like ####- pun not intended. My rectum and testicles both hurt and I'm having trouble with bm and urinating. When I do urinate it's all brown; like cider. I'm a bit worried and I'm going back to the dr tomorrow if I don't feel better. I'm almost starting to regret even starting with this but I'm willing to put up with this pain if this does end up curing my fbo and lg. I feel like I'm 95

btw it's ironic that they block out #### being that this whole site is all about ####

There is a light at the end of the tunnel bro stick it out

so do u still stink?

[naynay]

They said it is unusual. The dr isn't sure why I am having pain up front but said it may be due to trauma I may have had while laying down on my stomach when they were injecting me. I've actually been pissing blood these last few days and I'm getting really scared because of it. I'm feeling slightly better than a couple days ago though but it may be due to me loading up on advil. And yes I still have fbo

[naynay]

how are you man?hope you feeling a bit better, things sounded a bit miserable last time.take care

Hey bro. I feel much better now thank God. No more pain anywhere which is a huge relief. The doctor was right and it was just the trauma of laying on my stomach that caused the bleeding and pain. So far though I feel no positive affects from the solesta but I know it's still not supposed to work yet. Still have the same ol fbo/lg. Anything new on your end? (pun not intended...or is it?)

Does anyone know around how much this procedure costs?

[Bewildered]

Thanx for replying MMX. That's a bit much for a temporary fix.

Does anyone know around how much this procedure costs?

Most of the procedure was paid from my insurance. I had to pay a couple hundred bucks.I'm almost 2 months since I got this and sadly .i have zero improvement which sucks as this was my last resort. I know it's supposed to take 3 monthS for it to fully work but so far I thought I'd at least feel a slight difference but so far nothing:( so now what the hell am I supposed to do? I'm going for a follow up next week but I've basically given up. Im now resolved to living the rest of my life as an outcast. At 23 years old I feel like my life is finished. I really don't want to live anymore

Hello naynayFirst up, thanks for posting this. A lot of people have been wondering about this procedure and you're the first person to give some honest feedback. It's not all over at all. I cured 90% of this condition by completely evacuating, which takes hours. People get annoyed with me for saying this so I'll just leave it at that. I still get a bit of gas build up in the afternoon which is annoying but things are a heck of a lot better now.

No prob. So what do you do whilst your waiting? Sometimes i stay in the bathroom for more than an hour but i go all claustrophobic and my legs get all cramped. When you start to evacuate does it all go in one "flood" or do you let it out and then wait more to completely finish? UsuallyI feel like I am done but run back a few minutes later for more. Incidentally I'm writing all of this in the crapper haha

[tummyrumbles]

I take my laptop in with me. There's a few forums I talk on (they have no idea ha ha).If you start feeling crampy just move around a bit, change posture as much as you can. If your legs get cramped straighten them out every now and then. It's not like you have to sit there fully still. There's usually maybe 5 or 6 BMs over say 2/3 hours. I think a lot of people here have the same problem, which is colon contractions that just die off then start up again half an hour later, instead of giving one, big, strong push.

Tummy have you tried with laxants or a supository to speed the process?
