Hi. At the one month mark I started having burning before/during/after urination. Feels like urethra but not sure. Flow seems ok. Sometimes will pee multiple times in a short period of time. Pain Pretty much all the time ranging 1 to 6 as it fluctuates. Seems to worsen with exercise such as a mile walk. I should mention that I had extreme pain from catheter during week right after surgery - doc speculated latex allergy). Just touching the urine collection bag or tube at times would cause incredibly sharp pain. I also have abdominal tenderness/discomfort now. No infection. Abdominal CT a month ago was normal. Bladder emptying scan normal. Am taking 2 Motrin 3x day and 5mg Valium 2x day (surgeon using as antispasmodic). Doc thinks could be “post surgery pelvic pain syndrome”. Feels like the main source of pain is penis and I wonder if catheter fiasco could have caused some problem. Seems very weird that the current issue did not start till 1 month post surgery. Appreciate any thoughts - the pain is wearing me down. Thanks much. DD
