Thanks so much for the responses. Gonna dig out the info the doc gave me for the exercises. He said it women need to do if for 90 days to see if that will help. Just hate wearing the pads 24/7, too. Tried the drug years ago but got such a bad dry mouth and constipation...what does that tell ya. Just don't want a long recovery. Care giver for invalid which involves moving Mom from side to side but no lifting. We know what that will cause.
