Bladder cancer

Hello Taffy, if the painkillers are just over the counter ones, I'd strongly recommend that you contact your cancer team or your GP regarding the pain(s) you are experiencing. While it is true that a TURBT can make your innards very sore and sometimes mess with nerves in the area, it is always wise to consult the professionals at any time, more so as your  TURBT was quite recent. I've had two TURBTs but I'd describe the pain as severe bruising in the groin and stomach area. It eased gradually, allowing me to stop painkillers after about 5 weeks but by then I only needed one paracetamol before bed. Each patient will respond differently depending on medical history and the amount of 'work' done during the TURBT.  I hope you receive reassurance from the medics soon. Yes, it's another sort of pain actually getting through to them on the phone. Good luck!
