<p>Some research has been done in Canada on the effectiveness of cannabis as a pain treatment for those with CPPS. The results seem quite positive. Does anyone here have any experience of using cannabis to help the pain?</p>

<p>Carl, I wonder if you had any updates on your progress with the Bahn injections. Have you had your 2nd or 3rd round yet? If so, how reduced is your problem & pain. Also curious to know how painful it is to receive these injections, if you pass much blood afterwards, and if you've had any other side effects due to the strong cocktail of antibiotics, antifungals and steroids he uses?</p>

I was convinced that I had an infection because my symptoms started shortly after unprotected sex with a female. However after multiple urinalysis, std, and prostate excretion tests coming up negative. I had to except that my symptoms were not infection related. It was initially hard to except, but if it's not there it's not there.

I struggled with many of your symptoms for 10-11 months. After many tests; stds, UTI, prostate, cystoscopy , TRUS, I found out that I don't have an infection, there are no strictures in my urethra, and my prostate looks great.<br />

What has worked for me......physical therapy for cpps, amitriptyline, and low steroid, and seeing a chiropractor. Through the process of elimination and keeping my primary care physician, urologist, and chiropractor aware of the progress with each of…

What has worked for me......physical therapy for cpps, amitriptyline, and low steroid, and seeing a chiropractor. Through the process of elimination and keeping my primary care physician, urologist, and chiropractor aware of the progress with each of them it has been determined that my problem is most likely nerve related.<br />
<br />
Through taking a multidimensional approach my symptoms and pain is often at 0, with the occasional 1-2. Carl and many others have shared how open Dr. Bahn is. It's a good idea to see him if only for a TRUS. At least this will let you know what is going on or what is not. If anything maybe a piece of mind.<br />

<p>Well this has become quite the discussion, taking off from my original post! It's clear that we're all suffering and most of us aren't finding a "silver bullet" cure-all, or even a clear-cut cause...microbial. hidden-bacterial, bio-mechanical, who knows.</p>
<p>I am continuing my own process. I found NSAID pain relievers that dial the pain "down," though certainly not "off" - maybe from a 10 to a 6 or 5. I'm working with Mobic (meloxicam,) which does that, and I ordered diclofenac…</p>

<p>I am continuing my own process. I found NSAID pain relievers that dial the pain "down," though certainly not "off" - maybe from a 10 to a 6 or 5. I'm working with Mobic (meloxicam,) which does that, and I ordered diclofenac suppositories (another strong NSAID) because someone posted that helped him a lot. My dr. also prescribed Tramadol to try, but frankly I'm hesitant to try 'cause it's addictive, and 'cause I tend to get freaked out in my head by drugs that make me feel druggy & spaced out.</p>
<p>Beyond that, my burning pain level, especially anus & scrotum, has increased weekly since March. Urination still burns, but the few minutes of stinging afterwards has stopped, and the tip of my penis rarely hurts anymore. However there is now addition of pain in my lower back and sometimes up around kidneys. Currently I'm also feeling very fluey, mild fever & all...don't know if that's connected or I simply have a flu simultaneously with the pelvic problems. Scares me, though. Makes me start worrying about cancer again, even though my PSA is quite low (1.2).</p>
<p>Seeing an osetopath this week to see how much of this is pelvic-adjustment/pudendal nerve based. Then seeing Bahn next week for a TRUS, through I'm pretty sure this isn't really a prostate-centered problem. Meantime, doing my best to ward off depression about the whole thing.</p>
