Yeah I agree things are different now - maybe a new normal now!...
I had a TURP in January, and except for a couple of extra days in the hospital due to blood clots, I really haven’t had any issues to speak of until the last couple of weeks ago as I seem to have...
Thanks for the information. I am taking Sulfameth/Trimeth DS for a week after the surgery. I did read that everyone’s different and it could go away or hang around for a bit. Hopefully it will...
