@gerryp How many cores were taken? Wondering if a higher number of cores results in an increase of trauma to prostate. I had just 12. But your symptoms sound a little unusual and concerning. Hopefully the next couple days you will see marked improvement.

@mtsenior I had 16 cores taken. 4 in the lesion that was identified by MRI, and then 12 random ones - 6 on each side I believe. Woke up this morning, and looks like someone was murdered in my shorts overnight. No discomfort, or fever, which makes this really strange. I have to call them today. Appreciate your perspective.
