Going for Tulsa Pro Jan. 7th

My doctor prescribed .4mg flomax but told me if my current Terazosin (1mg
twice daily) was working, I might not need the Flomax. I took terazosin,
flomax and ibuprofen this morning. Hope it helps. Barely a dribble this
morning. I'm concerned that with the additional trauma from having to
insert a Tulsa prob twice, that recovery may be delayed if not compromised.

Yeah, that is what I was like after the catheter was removed, take 2 alpha blocker and add ibuprofen trying to pee.... Maybe they also took catheter out too soon. You will have to see if you get by, but they really like taking it out ready or not as they think people want that but last thing you want is it re-inserted. See if what you take works, flomax is the most powerful one, it really made me pee. Terazosin is not too powerful on that in comparison, it helps but just basic. Activity may or not help, I think I went right back to activity like my walking several miles every other day and so on. But I was taking flomax when doing that. Just keep in mind flomax is real helpful at the start but can make you pee too much eventually, and that can make for "mistakes", so getting off it when I could I was glad.

Well it does get better, but one OTC other than ibuprofen you can safely add is boswellia serrata, non steroid anti-inflammatory not connected to any class of drugs and used forever as anti-inflammatory and sometimes sold as frankinsense.

Since my Nov. TULSA treatment my stream has gotten better and now normal. It was weak following treatment for a few weeks but steadily improved. There was occasional blood but nothing drastic.
