I had radiotherapy last August and I am finding that I get pain when urinating, I have been to the local GP and they have tested me , no infections but I still have the pain

Thoughts 

  • I would contact the hospital at which you had the radiotherapy and either speak to the radiotherapy department or your consultant's secretary to ask your consultant about this.

  • I can't think of any reason why it should be linked to the radiotherapy, which would have minimal effect (if any) on the lining of the urethra.

    (*unless the PCa had local spread towards the bladder?)

    But where is the pain? bladder, 'plumbing' or penis?

    Is it worse at a particular time of day?

    Is it eased by drinking plenty (2-3L per day)?

    Heinous

    If I can't beat this, I'm going for the draw.

    Meanwhile, my priority is to live while I have the option.
