Urethra pain HELP!
Mike Cronis
some antibiotics and anti-inflamitory medicine, I have come down with some
sort of extremely painful thing. My urethra feels like it's on fire!
Here's the kicker though: It doesn't hurt during urination, only when I
don't urinate. There is a frequency of urination as well, perhaps too often
than normal. It's started at the openning and feels like it's decending
down.
The pain is excruciating, and perhaps not a "vas" question because it may be
unrelated? I don't have a clue as to what it is. Doctors speculate a
prostatitis, though I don't have an enlarged prostate, and no bacterial
cultures have formed from my urine samples. There's no blood in the urine,
it's all clean and green. No discharge either. Just pain pain pain!
I was prescribed some weird stuff that makes my urine turn orange, which is
kinda cool, but doesn't help the pain too much. Also I have the
anti-inflamatory. They also gave me Vicodan, which is pretty cool, but
doesn't stop the pain, just makes me druggy feeling.
Does ANYONE have a CLUE as to what's going on? Wouldn't I have an enlarged
prostate and pain DURING peeing, not before and after? What's going on???
HELP!

Probably is unrelated, but maybe not unrelated to the antibiotics they
gave you to beat the epidydimitis. I think you should post to
sci.med.prostate.prostatitis if you haven't already. Those guys see
lots of reports like yours and know about some of the meds. you
mention. There are also some urologists who read the ng and drop in
from time to time when their interest is aroused. I an pretty sure
some of the guys at the ng have symptoms like yours without
enlargement of the prostate. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Has something similar long before my vasectomy and thus long before
vasectomy ills.
Sulfur based anti-biotics is what turned my urine orange; but they did
not work; but seemed to mask the pain for awhile. What finally got it
was good old cheap tetracycline (sp).
Keep going to the doctor to get it prescribed. As I recall the Doc
told me the infection could be in either the prostate or the bladder -
mine was a bladder infection. Doc said if I cut back on oral sex less
chance of getting it - Girlfriend at the time said that only meant
oral sex for me receiving not giving.
Good Luck,

Thank you, I was hoping you could add something new regarding this epi
pain.
The paragraph that you pasted regarding epididymitis treatment is on
several websites.
Do you know if the pain from bacterial epi is the same as from
nonbacterial epi?
Thanks,
Tim
