Interstim for urinary retention / underactive bladder

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with the Medtronic Interstim, for underactive bladder.

I'm in my 20s, F and have an underactive bladder, resulting in incomplete emptying and having to strain to void because the stream is incredibly weak. I wake up 4-8 times a night to use the toilet, and haven't experienced a night of good quality sleep in a few years. And lately the fatigue has been making me so miserable.

After trying some possible solutions and all of them failing, my urologist suggested getting the Medtronic Interstim. I've seen a lot of success stories on reddit for overactive bladder but I'm curious if it's been successful for anyone else suffering from underactive bladder.
