<p>I think I've crossed a threshold. I was almost praying for it to be as good as b4 surgery. But, I think considering everything, it's better than b4 now. It's funny, the guys who have had this operation for cancer seem to recover more quickly. They're almost back to normal after a couple of weeks. The guys I know who have had this for CP were all in worse pain after the surgery. I've also heard of guys being better after 2 or 3 years. I can see that is probably about right.</p>

<p>I had worse pain post-op, too. My quality of life b4 the surgery was a 5 or 6. It was about a 1 after. I also had a bleeding episode after 3 weeks and wound up in the hospital. I kept track of my pain and I was even worse after the complication. So was it the LRP or the complication? I'll never know. 2-1/2 years since the surgery and I am just getting the pain under control, seeing a pain specialist.

<p>I had worse pain post-op, too. My quality of life b4 the surgery was a 5 or 6. It was about a 1 after. I also had a bleeding episode after 3 weeks and wound up in the hospital. I kept track of my pain and I was even worse after the complication. So was it the LRP or the complication? I'll never know. 2-1/2 years since the surgery and I am just getting the pain under control, seeing a pain specialist. I was pretty well fully continent a couple of weeks after getting the catheter removed and have yet to get my erections back. I'm using a pump and a Viberect device. Oral ED drugs don't work but I get a very hard erection with Trimix. If I could do it over, I wouldn't have gotten the surgery. I had CP back in the mid-90's and it went away by itself. I should have waited to see if it would happen again.</p> I really believe it's neuromu…tag:prostatitis.ning.com,2013-09-20:2201951:Comment:433082013-09-20T03:12:39.320ZHunter Ghttps://prostatitis.ning.com/profile/HunterGwynn
<p>I really believe it's neuromuscular in nature since a urodynamic test & 2 cystoscopies were basically normal. I just started a pelvic floor myofascial release program with a physical therapist in the hopes that it will release some tension & get the blood flowing again. Only time will tell, as it can take several sessions to see good results. I'm sick of living with this hell & I'm determined to find out what's wrong, no matter what.

<p>I really believe it's neuromuscular in nature since a urodynamic test & 2 cystoscopies were basically normal.

Only time will tell, as it can take several sessions to see good results. I'm sick of living with this hell & I'm determined to find out what's wrong, no matter what. I've also got plans to see a prominent urologist in Florida who is going to perform a series of mapped nerve blocks under anesthesia to try& help with the pain. I've had a couple of nerve blocks in the past (while awake) & they essentially knocked out all of the pain for several hours, although they hurt pretty bad at the time. I believe that between the nerve blocks & the pelvic floor therapy I can get my symptoms under control once & for all.</p> Really sorry to hear about th…tag:prostatitis.ning.com,2013-09-08:2201951:Comment:431222013-09-08T18:31:45.268ZShehan Pingamagehttps://prostatitis.ning.com/profile/ShehanPingamage
