I had a 100 cc prostate and had approximately 60cc ablated via TULSA-PRO procedure. My experience is similar to yours. I am two months into recovery from the procedure. However I do feel discomfort on the right side of my pelvic floor when I start walking. But as you say it's not anything I cannot tolerate. I'm not the 100 percent yet that I still hope to be. I will say that my urine stream has become much stronger. I'll have my first PSA test in another month. I also wonder if I'm unconsciously creating muscle stress when I'm sitting at my computer. I try to relax that area of my body when I think about it.

I really do think computer work gives more trouble to the healing than we like due to the upright stance we take while typing and mousing. It all probably relates to the ability to cool the surrounding area during the procedure which they do rectally and can't be perfect. I think I read one account where a guy took 6 months to overcome it, not sure where I read that but we are all individual. Look at it this way, you can tell the wife/significant other you have a legit reason to lie down on the sofa and watch TV instead of yard work, cleaning up, etc.... well that probably only goes so far I guess. Hopefully time overcomes it.
