I have interstitial cystitis and need an ileostomy or possible J-pouch. Also, I have a torn gluteal muscle that cannot be fixed, so I use a TENS unit every day, all day. I was wondering if anyone else has IC too and if it affects the bladder. How can I wear electrodes on my upper buttocks and not hit the tender gluteal area with a wrap? Clothes hurt it, and wearing something tight over it seems impossible. Plus, I have to turn it back on every hour.
