Scheduled for a Radical Prostatectomy and having Second Thoughts

Peter, that is a very large bump in the road, indeed. If memory serves, you’ve been having this problem since November? December of 24? Any improvement at all?
I remember our Kegel discussions and you were getting no help from your surgeon or PT, right?
What are you planning to do about this?

Well, my physio fled to Canada.
5 or 6 hours (I lost count) of instruction, ultrasound & eventually a not-fun anal probe thing for biofeedback... very little movement.
I had my 3-month post-op visit with the surgeon. He was appalled that I'm so useless & apparently I'm the only patient he's ever had who can't move his pelvic floor.
I have a feeling I'm going to end up in the medical journals - in the believe-it-or-not section.
Anyway, he's referring me to a "sphincter specialist" to assess me for an artificial urinary sphincter.
No idea when that is. Can't wait.
I already have an appointment in 2 weeks for my new physio, but I think I'm beyond help there.
I'll just sit there vent to her until my new surgeon turns up one day.
