Bad spasms

Hello to all,

I recently had my prostate shaved because it was restricting flow through
the uretha.  Even after surgery, I am suffering with intense bladder pain.
You get an urge to pee.  I get a spasm of pain from bladder to tip of penis.
It almost doubles me over.  None of the doctors I've seen seem to know why.
I have had a castcan, an ultra-sound, an IVP, blood tests, urine tests, and
a biopsy with no cancer present.  They find nothing amiss.  I scream bloody
murder from the pain before the urination begins, and even during the
process, it's still very painful.  I dread going to the bathroom.

Has someone else had this experience?  If you have, please let me know about
it.  I don't know what else to do.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Sounds horrible Michael.

I haven't had them since right after surgery, (RRP in my case) but
sometimes they use drugs like Ditropan for bladder spasms...

Did any of the docs talk about anti-spasmodics?

I hope you feel better.

Michael,
I have not experienced anything like what you describe, so this is just
conjecture.You could ask your doctor for a trial on pyridium. It is a
drug used for pain related to bladder infections. Maybe it will give
you done relief.

I had a lot of pain post-Foley removal (3 weeks post-RRP) when I tried
to urinate.  Mine was from the urethra/bladder reconnection healing
shut.  When I tried to urinate and couldn't (or even could a little)
there as a lot of pain.  Pyridium didn't help - the Foley is back in
for a week now and I think it'll do the trick.

My husband had terrible spasms like yours after his TURP.  They
gradually improved after the catheter was removed and finally
disappeared in about a week. The nurses attending him said this was not
unusual after this procedure.
.
Two years later he had an RRP and was very worried he would have the
spasms again.  Luckily that didn't happen.
