back ? Also, when I pee still get that little "Sting" at the tip...and

Howard, it's been three months.  It seems to me, a stinging at the tip of
your penis is an indication of something that shouldn't be there... a mild
infection maybe.

As to belly, I don't know if healing would cause that, but I do know that
you are still healing and you will continue to do so for another three
months.  But, it may just be inactivity in the belly region.  Remember,
you've been babying the belly for a long time now.

Hi Howie.

Without knowing with absolute certainty...and with the caveat of always
asking your doctor if you're ever in doubt...based on what others have
said...you are for SURE still healing.

Folks say that they have aches and twinges many months later than you
are talking about.

It's a big operation inside and things take a long time to heal
completely.

I'm sure that the good folks here will weigh in on this.

Feel better,

Ron B.

I'm almost two years out from surgery and I still get a small zing
whenever I empty a full bladder.  It occurs somewhere inside "down
there" and happens just at the end of the urination as everything is
shutting down.  No other symptoms, uro says "Yeh, things like that
happen".  You are still healing and will be for some months to come.
You can ask the doc about the big belly but he'll probably say "Yeh,
things like that happen".

Howie,
I had lots of wierd aches and pains the first few months. I found that
getting more exercise helped a lot.
