here is the deal. the surgery probably will not improve your pain problem.
i had a similar surgery in 1967 called a tur.didn't do sh.t for me.
have had testicular pain, back pain and sitting pain ever since.
but thanks to the great researcher fatty mawson i now have very little pain.
if you aren't following the fattymawson treatment then you certainly need to.
everybody on this board needs to be on the fatty mawson treatment
 here is the treatment.this is also good for moles, colds, and sore a.sholes.
 2 high quality multivitamins "megamen from gnc"  
 2 aspirin per day  enteric
 20 mg of omeprazole 3 times a day
 high quality digestive enzymes
 2 DIGESTIVE ADVANTAGE IBS pills 2 times a day
 fatty was suggesting zantac but has since switched to omeprazole because  
 zantac can make some men impotent.
 the fatty mawson institute for advanced prostatitis studies
 is always working for you.
 good luck and pray for george bush to win,or we all will have to move to
 guatamela or bumfuck egypt.
 oh by the way, we have signed you up as a fatty mawson commando.
 you will receive a free copy of our monthly news letter.
 only do as fatty says not as he does,because fatty is a war torn,
 whiskey drinking,dope smoking,harley riding,whore chasing disabled vietnam

I had a TUIP on Sept. 7th. My catheter came out Sept. 8th in the
morning. Very little post operative pain for me.

I had an immediate improvement in flow. Over a weeks time it slowed,
then got better. Eventually it returned to the great flow I had
immediately after surgery. It did nothing to help my problem starting
but my uro. blames that to nerve damage.

I still have great flow and I am really happy I did it. Because of my
nerve damage I retained ante grade ejaculation.

I hope this helps.
