Hi Everyone

It sounds like most of you are doing well, were gald to hear that. I have a question about pain, Rick woke up this morning with pain all through his pelvic area and in his lower hip down to where the leg meets the torso. We chalked it off to he probally over did it yesterday?? Tonight he started with a need to pee every 5 minutes and just a dribble each time. He said he has a continueous feeling of burning like in the uretha area??? Tonight the pain was so bad (Not even vicodin & oxctcodone helped) I finally called the doctor and he called in a prescription for antibotics. The doc thinks maybe he has a bladder infection going on. Has anyone had any experiances like this? His next PSA is on 9-21-07 should I see if the Doctor will do it any sooner?

Thanks in advance

Diana

Hi Diana,

Sounds like an infection to me too. If thats the case the antibotics should do the trick, but it may take a day or 2 to work. How is Rick feeling this morning? Certainly if the pain continues to be severe, and he has a rise in temperature; you should contact your doctor immediately. I took my dad to the ER for his bladder infection because his doctor was unavailable, and the resident physician gave him an antibiotic which worked pretty quickly.

I hope rick is feeling better. Please keep us informed.

Diana . . if it is an infection you won't want to have the PSA done sooner as it will possibly result in an incorrect reading. Actually, even if you do have the test done on the 21st and the result is higher than you are comfortable with you may want to ask for a repeat in a month.

Certainly if the pain continues I'd suggest investigation by the doctor.

Thank you all for the responses. He seems to be feeling better. If his PSA comes in higher I will have it repeated a couple of weeks later.
Thanks Again
