Pain in the butt - Can't sit down

Mine is exactly the same but I didn’t have the prostatectomy. I do have bph but I deal with it. Funny thing is. I tell people I know I have a headache or a toothache in my butthole and penis an open nerve. Same thing happens excruciating pain. I’m having a pain pump trial implant on Monday and hopeful that it will help. So tired of the ups and downs with my medication. Never know how I’m going to feel. I seem to be good one day and then in the bed for 5 days. I’ve had 2 stimulator implanted and removed they didn’t work for my type of pain. I’m not saying they don’t work just didn’t work for me. So 4 surgeries for that caused more damage to the nerve. I’ve had 3 second opinions for a pain pump and they all suggested it could work. I’ve read some good testimonials from this site and they have done a 180 with their pain. So at 61 yrs old what is left. I don’t want to live another 20 years like this so let’s try again. Very hopeful. I said no more surgeries after the last one but I’m at my last straw.

My goodness. Our stories are very similar. I have come to the reality that this is at good as it gets. I am home bound, as dressing and sitting are the worst things for me to do. I think I have tried too many interventions, spinal chord stimulator (twice), Calmare therapy, a peripheral nerve stimulator and numerous meds, vitamins, oils, creams (I also have allodynia on my lower back and bum. All the areas where I had the dreadful shingles. Currently, I am trying red light therapy. I haven't given up but the increase in pain has made things difficult. I am sorry you're not feeling well.
