Hi all,
I haven’t posted for a while since finishing the treatment as I’ve been focusing on trying to get back to normal! I’m starting to get my appetite back and I’m not feeling so tired and I am trying to get out and about a little bit now the soreness has gone. I do have the issue that every time so do a wee my bladder really hurts ( broken glass symptoms spring to mind). I have stopped taking the painkillers about a week ago but I’m thinking that’s maybe why I’ve got this pain again. Has anyone else experienced this and if so , how long did it last for?
Thanks so much xx
Hi Mix ,
It may be radiation cystitis, I suffered this during treatment & sympathise with the discomfort that comes along with this, it could be this that you’re experiencing or it may be bladder inflammation but I would suggest that you maybe take a water sample into your GP’s surgery & get tested for a UTI just to be on the safe side, radiation cystitis unlike bacterial cystitis can’t be treated with antibiotics so I just made sure I drank loads of water & unsweetened cranberry juice… I’m pleased you’re feeling much better in other aspects of your recovery. I hope you get some relief soon.
Nicola
