Phred, Your pain and my spasms are one in the same.
The other night I maked on my pad 14 times this occured between midnight and 8am. The next night I took 600mg of ibuprofen at dinner and a ex strengh tylenol at bed and I never void all night???? In the morning after I got moving around I voided freely 3or 4 times and that was it. The balance of the day I voided every couple hours with no pain. Last night I did the same meds and was back to 10 times with plenty of pain??? I can't figure it out.
Lots of things happened since my last posting.
I met with my Uro Dr. and he was very alof about my frequency and if it would get better, he said, may not. When I asked what my options were, he said, maybe we can scrap a little tissue to help empty the bladder and reduce the frequency, maybe. I got fed up and got an appointment with a specialist in Boston. He did a cyctoscope and found my prostate had a dome at the top blocking the neck, and a lot of scarring from years of retainage. Suggested I self catheter.
To stop more scarring and to reduce the frenquency.
