Hello, @myersja, @colleenyoung, I'm so sorry that I never saw or replied to you way back from 6/11/23. Well here we are on 5/8/25 and I'm replying. Please see my story below on an old post. Towards the bottom, it indicates what was finally discovered regarding my pain and very weak stream when urinating. It was finally discovered that I had a meatal stenosis; since I had the surgery to stretch it out, the pain and weak stream were thankfully corrected.
As an update on how I am now, my PSA is slowly rising it is now at 0.08 when it used to be undetectable; it's been rising very slowly by one increment every three months. Radiation oncologist is watching and having my go every three months for a new PSA test; I'll likely need a PSMA scan when it reaches a higher level and likely will need radiation and ADT therapy. I fell fine but just take it day by day. I do still have some incontinence/leakage but it's very minimal; mostly when lifting heavier things, sneezing , or being bent over a while and then getting up. I don't generally have to wear pads; I will wear one as a precaution if I'm going to a long event. Unfortunately, I still have bad ED.
I hope your pain while urinating finally went away or the doctor found something to correct it. I hope your PSA is undetectable and you are doing well.
If you are able, please let me know how you are doing. Again, I'm so sorry for the reply years later.
Thank you, Henry
