Neuropathy following Robotic Prostatectomy
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 23 hours ago | Replies (28)Comment receiving replies
I’m 66 now 13 month ago a had also a robotic prostatectomy still dealing with constant pain in my bladder and pelvic, I believe is some type of nerve damage, I have gone to a couple of urologist, none have been able to determine exactly what’s causing the pain, taking medication for overactive bladder , not much help , so I’m in the same situation, not easy to go with my everyday routine, good luck and let’s keep searching

It sounds like your surgeon has really not done you Any favors. I’ve heard from a lot of people that have had prostatectomies in the last five years And there are almost never issues like you are having. , I had mine 16 years ago And had almost nothing going wrong. Went to work part time after four days and full time after 7 days.
Do you know how many prostate surgeries your surgeon had done before doing yours? I wonder if they were very experienced.
Have you tried different painkillers? For constant pain, you do need something like low-dose oxycodone, Though I imagine you’ve already tried Tylenol, Aspirin and ibuprofen. Was anything able to give you relief for any amount of time?
You need to pursue a second and even a third opinion from very experienced urologist. Do you know if you’ve been going to a center of excellence to try to get to the best doctors? If you mention where you live, I can probably give you a place to go, Maybe even a couple places, To find doctors that know how to treat conditions like you have. You need an expert treating you not a run-of-the-mill urologist. Hopefully, you can find one.
