Perineal pain, Referred pain or

To all:

This Monday, I'll be 10 weeks post-opt RALP (6-1-15). PSA was 6.7, Gleason was 9. I've documented from PSA through biospy, through surgery in "hopes" to provide the information to some other "unluck guy" next. I've documented that I have horrible pain between scrotum & anus but up inside. I think its called Perineal pain, others said "referred pain" but it makes sitting "BAD" or what I call "pain in the A_ _"! Have whined to Dr, but basically seems you get the same answer of "its healing and everyone is different". They have done blood test, urine test, pelvic CT scans and all apparently look good.

So documented from day 27 (could have been earlier but didn't write it down) to day 76 post-opt today is 49 days and "haven't noticed any change". My questions to all of you, "is any one else having this same "pain" this far out! Some local guys that have had same surgery I've contacted here have not. And if so, when did you notice any improvement

Am I alone on this one, since everyone is different? My "dough-nut I've been sitting on has definitely been my best friend lately!" Any thoughts, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks HDHOG

I had some perineal pain, i dont remember exactly, but i think it was about 2 months that it lasted, then it wasn't there, or at least wasn't noticeable.
As your doc said, everyone heals differently. I'd probably give it another month before i pushed things with the doc to get to the bottom of it.
On the other hand, it does take lots of guys up to a year to really get back to 100%.

Hi
That pain.... I had RALP on 11/11/2013 and I still get that pain from time to time. Mostly it's a dull ache if I sit in the wrong kind of chair but sometimes its quite sharp. The pain used to be much more consistent during the first year after surgery. I used a pad called a GSEAT to sit on and that really helped.

Give it time. this was major surgery and it will just take time to get better. I find anything that pushes where my prostate was like a soft cushioned chair can cause alot of discomfort. Watch out for that

It will get better
