I had this problem at night, and was also. My oncologists also prescribed a muscle relaxer for my bladder, within a week I had no problems at night. When I wake I have slight discomfort. I have and do experience the pain you are talking about during the day if I have a couple of beers and can't get the bathroom as soon as I feel the urge, in one instance I did encounter the pain when walking, all was better once I went to the bathroom. My doctor stated it could be around for 6-8 months post surgery.
I also have slight incontinence, down from 4-5 pads a day to 1, my surgery was Decmber 2009. It is especially bad when playing the pipes and drinking beer, so today I have packed a few extra pads.
