Hi all, I know that this is not a place for medical advice just need
opinions. My hubby had his vas done on 10/17, at the time of the vas
he said that "he felt like the dr poked the needle thru the rt one it
hurt so bad". With that said, he is having pain/swelling still on the
rt side which he said today is worse than it has been, there is no
redness, no bruising. I called the drs office last week and they rxd
levoquin sp?, an antibiotic, and said if after the pills are taken and
if he is still having probs to call back. Well he has 2 more pills
before they are completed and the pain is worse, no fever, hot baths,
motrin doesn't even seem to help. Any ideas what this could be? I
hope it's not what I have read the PVP syndrome otherwise I will feel
awful. He has even stated he was thinking about having a reversal if
this pain continues.


Thxs, A.

Anita,
In my opinion he should see a doctor ASAP. Pain of any type, swelling
or not, is not a good thing.If a GP did the vas I'd recommend seeing a
urologist for this as it's their specialty. Let us know how things
work out.
All good medicine,

I'd second this. I had pretty much the same thing (pain that topped out after
about one month without any visible sign of infection); the second urologist I
saw was concerned enough to order an ultrasound.

Thks for the advice, my hubby had his vas done by a uro dr. I called
their office and they definitely want to see him in for a f/u. My
hubby is now thinking that this vas was a huge mistake and he will
have to live with pain like this. Hopefully it is something that will
go away.
