After prostate removal

Hi Fran

I had RT not surgery so I can't give u first hand experience

Having read loads of posts on here regards side effects after surgery I would say that these sorts of problems are fairly normal after surgery, after all it's quite a major op and the bladder has taken quite a pummelling

It's good that there is no infection, not sure why the creatinine is high, that's from the kidneys.

Try and get him to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and flush out any toxins

Regards

The nerves are stretched and jangled after surgery.

i had pain when I was passing urine and sore legs. A neurologist told me it was nerve issues which would settle down over time me. He prescribed Gabapentin as paracetamol doesn’t work with nerve pain. Things settled down over time.

But I would check in with his specialist nurse or urologist to get their view.

Thank you for your reply the doctor has gave him antibiotics said would rather over medicate him than under think it’s just hard for him at mo as he leaks a lot so doesn’t really go out at the moment and before op he was always out doing jobs but it’s early days it’s only been 5 weeks even tho it seems like a lifetime ago just hoping when he gets appointment for consultant it has all gone 

Just got results the cancer had just started to brake out of prostate but consultant thinks he’s got it all so has decide against doing radium treatment but with the trouble with his wee hurting and a pain wen sitting he is wanting to see him again in 4 weeks to make sure it’s settled down has anybody else had these problems but can’t really complain as at least the cancer has gone one less mountain to climb so we should be grateful really
