I'm worried! I like Zach he's a good kid but he's not a leader. Plays safe and then does an audible towards a stacked right side huh? I guess you can play too safe. Glen...
Sounds reasonable. I opted for SBRT after about six imrt sessions. The reason was two fold. One issue was chronic pain and lying on the hard table for so many sessions. The other issue was I...
I had greenlight laser surgery and my PSA dropped as well. It might be a simple matter of there being less prostatic tissue hence less PSA made. Glen...
Thank you for posting. I'm grateful for plug for TRT I too have been on testosterone throughout my treatments and I too had SBRT and my PSA is dropping quite well. I thought about going to Boston but...
Jet's lost. I'm not sure if I can take another losing season. My dilation is holding up thus far and eventually I'll just accept it as healed. Okay it might come back but I'm assuming it'll be...
Insurance? Yep even insurance company has reinsurance. Wonder if he can come back next year but now we have to pin our hopes on Zach. I don't feel like he's going to be a dud. They have a good team...
Jet's have to be jinked Aaron Rodgers out for the season! Oh my gosh! Maybe Wilson is ready to make a change. Hurts being a jet fan Glen...
To be clear. I'm not unable to fly over fear of crashing. I'm very claustrophobic and don't want to be stuck aboard for hours. The taxi the landing and much of the flight is great and enjoyable. I...
Wow such a mess flying today. I last flew in 2006 to Clearwater Florida and back to Albany and loved it. Always loved flying well just takeoff and landing which is the fun part. Today I'd have to be...
I use a elliptical machine most days and try and walk a bit. I use a cane and with chronic low back and legs pain, it's not easy. Frustrating stuff because in NYC it's fun to walk the streets and...
OMG errors! No I don't live in my car. I meant to say my apartment upstate. Mumbo my wife has had to do the POA and yes it is not a easy job. Thanks for taking care. Glen...
Funny reading the checklist. I can relate. I spend 3 days in my car upstate apartment so I really really need to orientate. "Is my wife next to me?" Maybe she's up already? Nope! She's in NYC and I'm...
Thanks pratoman I am glad I'm not alone. I went to games at Shea they were SRO and therefore a long day watching. I rooted for Joe Willie but was more a Giants fan. Well in the late 70's after going...
BTW Buffalo is not the Jets! 1969 for crying out loud! I'd add that Norwood cost me a few bucks. Yes I rooted for Buffalo over the Giants that year. Still doing well. Little worried about my elbow...
I'm online a lot and maybe too much. I'd most likely do a check out but since I'm almost always focused on my urinary issues, I'm thinking I'm a lifer here. If I should die well accept my apologies...
Yes I'm watching him on HBO. He's going to help but I don't get my hopes up too high. We had Parcels and he did okay but not a championship. Elbow slowly getting better but I noticed a mild wobble...
All is same so I changed appointment to November 10th BTW my wife seems back to normal and doctor gave her memory tests and she passed 100% Still has a issue with keeping order list writing and...
Hey I'm for the Bills because after all they are really the only New York team. If they play the Jets then I'm not going to root for them but otherwise go Bill's. Flow is still good. Still have...
I use a elliptical machine and it is easy on the joints. Stay active, eat right etc. Radiation takes a toll on the body so also rest and be kind to yourself. I did SBRT and was tired but not too...
Friend has this and it comes and goes. Diet helps. I'm used to aging and the many maladies it brings. Still happy to be alive even though I do complain about it allot. Dying scares me insofar as...
Thanks. Wife has been doing well so I'm hoping that the worst is over. Still voiding well so I'm feeling better about that. Elbow? Pain, limited ROM and severe itching are bothersome. Takes a good...
Still good. Another week or so and maybe I'll stop worrying. Met an old friend yesterday and had lunch. He's up from Florida. Tom changed my life both in a good way and not so good. Good part is he...
Blood has stopped for a couple of days thank goodness. Each time I void, if it's clear, I say thank you to God. I understand that treatment may be in my future be it Optilume (I hope) or full surgery...
Thank you Jim. I'll talk to the dentist. I actually can afford the dental work but really don't want to deal with multiple things going on. I'll get to that in time. Blood again yesterday but it's...
Daily report lol Yes still voiding well. Elbow slowly getting better. I'd add that I need a knee replacement too as well as dental implants so I've got a lot going on. Wife is having memory issues...
Still good. I'm thinking it was what I guessed and that's dehydration that led to hematuria. What bothers me is the "What ifs" Because I had the nightmare of urinary retention, I greatly fear it...
Yep still voiding well. I'm hoping it was caused by dehydration and nothing else. Okay I'll leave it alone and get on with my life including healing my elbow replacement revision surgery which still...
I'm just happy we have this forum. Maybe I'd have found the information I've needed but the personal support is priceless. Glen...
I'm still voiding without blood. Dr office moved me up to September 12th I'll cancel if I'm still good maybe a week before the date. Doctor Joice wanted to see me in about eight months at the last...
Urine color is okay for the past few days. Hopefully it was just dehydration that caused some blood. March 17th was the dilation. Unfortunately stricture can return because of the scar tissue. Taxol...
Going on two years post SBRT and PSA is dropping. March 17th had a dilation of a urinary stricture and it's been good since then. Well until a couple of days ago. Had very dark urine and blood in my...
Little bit of blood. I'm really praying that the stricture is not coming back. If it does I'm hoping it's small enough for Optilume. The gold standard is ureththroplasty and that's a big operation as...
Urinary flow is back to normal and color is okay. This is more of a post about stricture right now. I've made appointment for October tenth week Dr joice the specialist. I'll keep it open for now....
Thank you Michael as well. Had very thick urine last night and it was bloody but after a lot of water, not bloody this morning. Made appointment for specialist for October tenth. On waiting list. If...
Yes I've heard Prozac is easier to withdraw from. I'm off all antidepressants but found Wellbutrin to be easy to get off of. Glen...
Thank you Boomer. Pain is better. I'm trying to nurse the arm for a little while. Doctor said it's best to hold off PT for a while. I've noticed mild squeeking sounds in the ulnar part and hope it's...
I'm very worried about my wife. Please allow me to slightly hijack this post. History: wife is very sorta OCD needing constant list's and control of things Lately her 100 years old mother is deaf and...
Swollen but much less painful. I'll get back to PCA issues! Thank you for indulging me but the pain forum is slow and few respond. Anyway flow is good but still mildly painful. I'll live with that....
Had revision surgery on the 31st July and hoping for the best Wish I never had it...
Had hip replacement and it's working great. Over ten years. Wish you could get into water it really helps. Pain meds? We are barbarian in that area. Glen...
Maybe my final post on the subject. Got the cast off and doctor and two others agreed it was top notch surgery. One doctor was from Chicago so I felt positive about it Still hurts but it'll heal. No...
Thank you mumbo. The pain is better today and range of motion is good. I was just shocked that after six days it would hurt worse than before. Today it's mostly frustrating being unable to do simple...
Thank you. I'm doing better now and even did twenty minutes of elliptical machine...
I'm over the hump or at least hope so Feeling weak because I've not been able to deal with this pain Maybe because of the fact that I've been on buprenorphine for a long time is the reason it's not...
Day six at two o'clock am and hurt's worse I can't sleep OMG it's bad...
Oh I'd add that smashing my forearm into a tree trunk to toughen my blocking arm didn't have the desired effect...
Thank you Jack. I played 7 years sandlot football then the team went Semi-Pro and I sort of retired. I'm using voice activation so I'm not sure things will come out right just took a shower with a...
Had surgery and I'm still hurting. Anesthesiology promised lorazepam but never followed through they gave me general anesthesia which I didn't want they gave me fentanyl which I didn't want but in...
So sorry. Word's may not help but know that we are all in this and we all have the same fear's and have been through much. I'll pray because that's what helps me. Wishing you the best in healing your...
I've had a big rise in PSA when I had UTI I'm pretty sure inflammation can cause a temporary rise. I'll Google it to be sure Glen...
