pain with catheter

I've had my catheter in for 8 days now and the dull ache at the end of my penis is quite annoying.

Hi MGL

Both sound very common. Bob had pain from his catheter. The pain persisted for awhile after removal as well. He also needed to wear a pad to catch leakage as well.

When do you get "Mr. Hang" removed??

Bob (60) had laproscopic prostate surgery on Sept 27, 2006 - 2/12 malignant biopsy samples - gleason 3 + 3 = 6.  Follow up PSA results and pathology results received Nov 14th are NO MORE CANCER!  Gleason changed to a 3 + 4; cancer completely confined to prostate; (even a second more aggressive, previously undetected cancer)      PSA UNDETECTABLE November 2006 AND February 2007.   

I had both pain like that and leakage... as a matter of fact, I still have some pain at the end of the penis and still have leakage and still lots of leakage (at 9 weeks post op).  But I think the pain is a little better now and I am regaining some control of my urine, but when I walk or stand, it is still hard to control.  So hang in there and be patient.  Patience has been hard for me, but I am sure learning it and... according the Bible, patience comes through "tribulation".  I think most of us on the board know a little about "tribulation" in these matters at least and patience seems to finally come to most of us as a result.

I get Mr hang removed in two days

Say goodbye to Mr. Hang and hello to recovery.
Aching (or irritation) at the end of the penis was normal for a lot of us guys. It'll go away. Give it time.
