Not exactly pain but discomfort in the lower abdominal region

I may have poster this before If I did I Apologize But how many of you that have had robotic surgery have discomfort in the lower abdominal area ? It doesn't really hurt it's just not pleasant, feels like something is wrong. It's been a year and a half. Is this something I need to be worried about or is this normal?

sorry for your pain, i agree with steve above, good thing to talk over with your doctor. after this length of time from surgery, it shouldn't be related to that. with my open surgery, i was declared surgically healed in 90 days, but not totally healed until the one year mark. i would be talking to my doctor for sure to be on the safe side

Hello to all, new on the forum and trying to make sense of the abbreviations for everything. I had the robotic surgery 1 year ago. I was 45 when I had it. I have experienced the same discomfort even when reaching for items on a top shelf or stretching before a workout. I tend to play a lot of racquetball but I don't think that is a problem but I know am feeling quite a bit of testicle pain afterwards. But getting back to your symptoms, my abdominal area does not feel the same. Last psa was undetectable which I am grateful for but I mentioned to mu URO the stabbing pain I get when I have a full bladder but cant get to the bathroom to relive myself. The pain has made me cry and urinate on myself. It is pretty bad. He said it was bladder spasms and gave me Toviaz for the bladder. Didn't do a dang thing. I have trained myself to frequent the porcelain throne even if I don't have the urge.

My surgery was a 13 months ago and I have the exact same issue. My bladder was also checked and was deemed acceptable with a no pain capacity of 400 ml. (over that and it got painful quick). My uro is old school, but his answer has been 1/2 of a 5 mg vicodin as needed, core excercises, and stretching. It has worked pretty well, but there is definitely something about the surgery that changed sensation in the lower abdominal area. CT scans at 9 months post surgery were clear. He said it could be post surgery adhesion, a nerve response to surgical damage, or my imagination. I tend to believe it's nerve damage since mine was nerve sparing surgery

Bobbie, I am still experiencing these sharp pains when my bladder is full. Also noticed more leakage when straining from workout or even coughing. My next psa is not till mid june and even though I brought up the condition to my URO, I feel like something is wrong.

Lowandslow:
you say core exercise and stretching help, but can you go over 400ml without pain? Also, I never had a ct scan and I am 13 moths post nerve sparing surgery.

In my case, a full bladder will cause sharp pain, spasms I guess. The core excercises and stretching were advised by my URO, but haven't had an effect. I would have to measure for current ml without/with pain. I haven't measured for a long time. One thing though, instead of the old urge to urinate, it is an increase in spasm like pain. I've held back until the pain was extreme to see if the urge feeling came, but it didn't, so I use the beginning of spasm as my guide for urination. That is all different than the lower abdominal pain though. THAT pain is nearly constant, just enough to be annoying. I went to an urgent care in December and he ordered the ct scan which came back with no abnormalities,,,,,other than a missing prostate.

I have the same discomfort 3 years after surgery. Discomfort level goes up and down. I have some concerns cause I know someone who got bladder cancer after prostatectomy years later. Any thoughts?
