Prostate Artery Embolization for BPH. Anyone have it done?

Day 20 PAE update:
Just now getting past the painful urination. Weaker stream than before procedure and getting up 5 times per night, one or two before. So, I'm worse than I was before the procedure, but it's slowly improving every day.
Doctor said max results occur around 3 months, so I'm really hopeful I can get off Alfuzosin, it's tough on the eyes and gives me a constant dull headache.

Hang in there brothers, you will be good as new in due time. Depending on size of prostate and plenty of other factors recovering proceeds slowly in beginning and before you know you will be saying, wow, this is working! I went through 10 days of living hell and then daily improvements. Three years out and it’s like I’m 30 again.
Success rate is pretty high as I understand it. Good luck!
