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.
