Hi, I had my prostate biopsy on Thursday. The injections to numb area and the probe were the most painful part of procedure. What I found the most painful part (that no one mentioned and ialso couldn't find documented) was the 48 hours afterwards. The pain in my rear passage was 7/10 and I couldn't sit down. I was on the toilet every hour but felt like I could just sit there 24/7 as felt like I needed to go permanently. I could not find these after procedure side effects documented anywhere and wondered if other people had experienced them?
Hi Radiation and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read how much pain you've been in since having a biopsy this week.
As the community is divided up into different support groups, I'm going to recommend that you join the prostate cancer group which will mean that you connect directly with others who have had the same type of cancer as you and also the same procedure.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
