Thanks...Good advice!...
Had the robotic surgery in September 2011 and pain ever since. When I wake during the night to urinate it burns to the point I have to apply ice. Then usually between 3 and 5 AM, I get "pinching'...

tigerfan53 said... Sorry you're having this pain - and for so long. Has your uro given any explanation for what is causing the pain? I would suggest getting the opinion of a different urologist. --...
Purgatory said... fred, the mod told you the best way to get to the Chronic Pain Forumn. I can tell you first hand, they have a good community there as well. i don't post there as often, but i have...
Thanks to all well wishers!!...
Just got my results on Wednesday....6 months post surgery, PSA <0.1. Quite a relief!...
BTW, Purgatory...How do you get on the chronic pain forum? Is it a Healing Well forum? I didn't see it on the list....
Purgatory said... sorry you are experience this, i know how it feels literally. my standard advice, ask your doctor for some pyridium. its a very cheap generic drug, they often give samples. it will...
Anybody else get this...Any number of body positions can bring on urethral burning that usually stays with me all day once it starts and often changes to and "aching" pain. For example, this AM I was...
Thanks for your kind replies. It happened again last night. I woke around 11:30 with some lower abdominal discomfort and slight urge to urinate. I was afraid to try so took klonopin and managed to...
That's what I'm hoping. This particular pain I'm getting is if I try to pee when the urge is too low, then the stream is not strong and for some reason that causes pain....
Steve n Dallas...It's my surgeon...the one who did the procedure. He did a cysto Oct. 31 and said things were healing as they should, but I agree with you...more tests are in order. I have an...
Does anyone else have this problem, and if so what can be done to help? I've had penie/urethral pain since surgery. If I wake up during the night and feel the need to urinate if the urge is not high...
My surgery was on Sept. 22, 2011. I still have almost daily penile pain. The strange thing is, I can go to bed pain free and wake up around 2:00 AM...sometimes urethral, sometimes general pelvic...
I get really bad nasal congestion with Flomax...that's about the only side effect I notice. I laid off for a few days and nasal passages opened up. I'm back on it now for the reasons you mentioned in...
larch said... Hi Fred, I think the way you want to look at this is that your plumbing system took a major hit with your treatment, and that the Flomax helps ease the plumbing back to something closer...
I was told by one of my surgeon's nurses to continue Flomax post surgery. Since it's a drug for BPH and I no longer have a prostate, I don't think I need to take Flomax. I have had a great deal of...
Thanks again, guys....now if I can get this pain issue resolved I'll really feel that I'm on the road to recovery....MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS......
Thanks, guys....it is like an early Christmas present!...
Just got the call from Dr. office today and sounds good to me. As I understand it this (<0.1) means below the dectable amount of PSA....
Thanks for the responses...much appreciated. KickineheButt, I had the same problem passing urine after catheter was removed. On the day it was removed , my surgeon didn't even make me try to pee. I...
This is what I'm thinking too. Thanks for your response. Hurts when I pee today...more when I stand to pee than if I sit and I'm taking phenazopyridine....
