Tomorrow is my biopsy. Im NELS 56 year old. Nov 14 2024 had my physical annual and my PSA was 2.14. It was that way for the last 10 years. On Nov 29 2024 I had a high fever and joint pain but no congestion. After several Covid test negative i noticed that my urine was dribbling out. I made an appointment with a urologist on Dec 09 and he did a urine and blood test. He said urine came back with an infection and PSA came back 67. He put me on antibiotics and shot in the arm. So in 23 days it went from 2.21 to 67.0. 3 days later I did another PSA test it went to 31.They did all exams cystoscopy pressure test sonogram of bladder digital rectal everything came back good. On Jan 06 2025 they did an MRI which showed all good no lesions. Did a PSA test today and it is now 5.37. The Biopsy is tomorrow. I feel fine except pain or just discomfort in my lower buttock area. I used to get this discomfort after carrying heavy items over 20 years ago. First Urologist said Biopsy. Second urologist said just monitor psa and another PSA test in 3 months. Third Urologist said BIOPSY. Confusing
