Hi Imnotcrazy. Thank you for coming on. Please tell us a bit more about yourself and your history. You can update your profile on your My Page. And load in a photo too.

Thank you. It might be good especially as others join in if you put some of the highlights -- age, symptoms, history -- on your page. You can edit the "prostatitis" box with title, test, images, links ... Others will want to compare and learn.

How did you find this network? It's only 24 hours old.

thanks doctor .im 42 year old . fell over with this at 39 .
for the first 2 and a half year i and a blow torch feeling that went from my ass , perenium and through my uretha non stop 24/7
i was talked into having micro denervation surgery by a doctor after my first year. he convinced me it wasnt a infection. so we did the left side . it did help with the ball pain but the burning stayed . i have had some relief by drainging the prostate while on anti-biotics . but dint give me my life back. i have had 5 rounds of injection and im living again. i hope this stays and i get back to 100% . i pray for us all day and nite . no man should live with this.
thanks again doctor!

Hi. It's best to ask questions of members on their pages because then they are notified. I was not notified of a new discussion in an open forum. In groups (see upper left) members are notified of new content.

Back to your question: I am primarily a prostate cancer surgeon. The case of David Radford, which was so spectacularly successful, caused me to engage the prostatitis community to understand the current situation.

The answer is below.

Sbs/Doc Firecock,

Thank you for your good wishes. For what its worth, I have always liked you, and always thought your heart is in the right place. I actually voted NOT to ban you on the other forum.

Yes, I have perineum and urethra burn--all the classic c.p.symptoms. Most days it feels like I've got a red-hot poker jammed up my ass.

I think you're going to suggest that I visit Bahn in Ventura? Well, I have taken the matter into hand already and made 3 appointments to see him in December.

I have told Bahn that if there's no improvement after 3 rounds of shots, I will discontinue treatment. Somehow, I have my doubts that he will be able to help--mainly because I have had so many failed treatments.

I know he's helped you and others, and that's why I'm going, in a last-ditch effort at preserving my prostate.

But how many rounds of shots have you had now? And what symptoms do you still have (if any)?

I'm glad you're happy with the treatment and you're still doing well. What's Bahn's prognosis? Does he think 8 treatments will be enough for you? Who requested the 8th treatment: you or him?

On a different topic, where do you stay in Ventura? Is there anything to do in the town? It looks like a one-horse town from all the research I've been doing. Any advice would be welcome

Thanks,
Chris

Imnotcrazy, Thanks for wishing me well. I will bring more updates as I recover from LRP surgery.
