A Somewhat Scary Experience

Thiss is an example of the kind of thing that might not have concerned me quite as much, had I not had surgery. Everything after diagnosis and treatment, seems to be magnified....

Woke up late today, around 9:30am, did a few miles on the treadmill, showered, felt great. Had breakfast, and sat down to relax . Took a leak, and about 10-20 minutes later, I thought I felt a weird sensation in my Johnson. I brushed it aside, saying it was my imagination. But as time went in, it got a lot more pronounced, and it was clear that it was real. A hot burning feeling. Inside. Wasn't warm to the touch, didn't look weird, no redness or swelling, jus burning, like I had applied Icy Hot, or Bengal to it. And it felt like it was also burning around my rectum.

I was pretty panicky, like WTH is going on? I almost took a Xanax, just to try to get hold of my senses and calm down, so I could think straight. But I held off, hoping it wouldjust go away.

And after aabout 30 minutes it started to subside, and was soon gone, like nothing happened. Strangest thing.

Anyone ever have anything like this after SURGERY? No radiation, obviously.

The only thing I can think of, is that for breakfats I made an egg white omelette with tomatoes and habaneros chili peppers, super hot, like, makes me cough. Is it even possible that this is what caused it?

I would think that three months after surgery, if I had no weird side effects, like scar tissue blocking the ureter, or UTI infection, I would be home free

It was a few hours after the habanero breakfast.
I tossed the remaining habanero peppers in the trash. No mor spicy stuff for me for a while.
I was really nervous about what was going on

Ultra spicy foods are on the list to leave in the old normal world.

I suspect more that it was a mix of that and a bit of suture material that finally came loose.

At three months that happened often to me.

At 6 weeks, I'm finding that the dietary constraints I had in the past are becoming more constrained, as it were. Not just spicy stuff--I never really embraced that side of things in the past--but the rest. Anything that is "too much" of a good thing turns into a bad thing much more quickly and obviously. Which, in reality, probably isn't a bad thing: moderation in all things is the goal. One or two strips of bacon with a restaurant breakfast is OK. 6-8 strips on a BLT with lots of mayo---watch it. One snickerdoodle (sorry Andrew) is ok--the whole dozen in the bakery clamshell---really bad idea. Is this part of the new normal?

The whole episode seems funny now. But at the time, geezzz

I agree with Halbert and PeterD, my question is why did you hab an arrow in your hand it should have been in you your wifes quiver. Feel free to censor, but thats too funny to delete. apologies to Pratwoman…if needed!!

I agree with the others about having hot pepper residue on your hands. A fellow I know (who doesn't have prostate cancer) recently described a similar scenario.
