Hello and please help,

I had my prostate shaved over a year ago.  I also had a diverticulum removed
in my bladder.

I still have problems with my prostate.  I know it's slightly enlarged but
it aches a lot, especially when I'm totally relaxed or ready for bed.  I do
not have trouble urinating.  The flow is good with no retention.  But the
prostate aching at night has me squirming and shifting uneasily most of the
night.  I do not get much sleep because of it.  I've taken Tylenol 3s for
pain, etc., plus Oxycodone, Tramacet, Codeine, nothing seems to help.  Any
suggestions.

I am wondering why I am having this ache and why, on the odd day, it seem to
be getting worse?   My urolgoist told me, 'two out of three isn't bad.  Live
with it.'  What he meant was, I had my prostate shaved to alleviate the pain
and bring down the swelling so I could urinate normally again.  That was
done.  Secondly, I had awful pains that caused me to scream every time I
urinated.  That was the diverticulum in the bladder.  It has been removed.
No more pain, that way, just the constant aching  ...

Anybody else ever have this problem?
