Prostate Cancer :: Bladder Sphincter Inflamed By Radiation
My bladder sphincter is inflamed with the radiation. I have been using Ibuprofen eight hourly to reduce the inflammation for over 24 hours. Yesterday morning when I awoke after sleeping deeply about 3am and this morning about 5am I had very great difficulty starting at all. Other times if I am prompt I get started more easily with a poor flow. I don't know what the options are. I have read of others who have had treatment suspended because of side effects. That is my worst nightmare. Anyone experienced this problem. My rectum is producing excess mucus, otherwise the treatment seems to be going well. I have had 8 treatments of the planned 37. I am very alarmed and do not know what options if any there are. Are there any exercises that might help?
View 43 RepliesAnxiety :: Just Have Physical Symptoms, No Mental Symptoms?
I admit I have had multiple Anxiety attacks, I am a cashier at Walmart, I usually get them if I had rude customer like after I had a nasty customer who came down from self-check to customer service towards me, I was in tears before that, then my manager told me to hide behind the Customer Service desk. My worst anxiety attack I had a lady who's coupons would not work, I took the coupon price off the items she could not understand that and told me to take the items off period and demanded I give the coupons back to her, I already did. My brain got foggy so I asked her if she wanted me to take the items off, she said yes so I kept doing it, suddenly I wasn't feeling to well, I went to go see my manager to ask for help when I started hyperventilating, my manager had me sit down right there at the empty register. Another cashier was able to take over and finish it for me. My manager helped me over to the bench at customer service, where I suddenly lost feeling in my hands, they ended up curling up from the pinky in. I tried prying them apart using the metal bench but that didn't even work. That scared me, the same manager asked if I was okay I told her that I couldn't feel my hands, staring down at my fists. They finally unfroze after 10 minutes. The lady was so upset with me she left all of her items.
Anyway I will get dizzy, like it ranges from feeling as though I am spinning, I have to clutch on to something to keep from falling over, to the world tipping around me with every step, to not being able to see, not sure if that's exactly dizziness, but it started with dizziness. I'll get flushed randomly. I'll have PAC's. There have been a few times I have almost fainted, one time it was from not breathing, like I noticed that I wasn't breathing, my body was just like woah what's the matter you aren't breathing, I had to have a manager finish while I sat down. I was up and doing my job before I was supposed to so I did not feel well the rest of the day. My arms will also get exhausted suddenly if I have to lift them to head level, like I can barely do a pony tail without them being exhausted, the kinda feeling you get after a hard work out.
I've had the flushing and dizziness when I was talking to my mom and hanging out with my friends. My friends all know and are really accepting if they need to stop doing whatever so I can sit down.
My doctor originally thought it was POTS if anyone knows what that is, I'm getting a tilt table test in 2 weeks, now he seems to think it's anxiety. I'm sitting down while working just in case, it does seem to help slightly. It's just annoying, this has been going on for 3 months and I'm sitting down because of the time I have almost fainted also. Anyway people will say you're lucky you get to sit down, I don't consider everything and almost fainting lucky.
I'm not sure if it is anxiety since it is just physical symptoms, I've had no mental or emotional ones. Just feels like mental ones from fear of my physical ones.
I've done a stress echo and a holter monitor and blood work done.

I was diagnosed with a 5mm kidney stone. I had a ct scan and was told it was close to my bladder and it would pass in a few days.after another episode of horrible pain I then began experiencing the urge to urinate constantly with not much output. I am pretty sure the stone has moved into my bladder but it hasn't come out yet.I am drinking a lot of water to try to flush it out. How long should it take to come out once it reaches the bladder?

Has anyone had an upper UTI infection before? - I just got a UTI last night around 1am, burning while peeing, sluggish, etc, but later tonight I started feeling tenderness around my flank area underneath my rib cage, nothing painful, but I can feel it. I'm not sure if that's just natural gas or what. I've been drinking 100% pure cranberry juice for the past 2 hours with lots of water, so I'm wondering if that helps at all?

I'm 62 years old. For about 6 years I've been told I had mild vagina prolapse. Just recently I had kidney surgery to remove a stone and had a urinary stent put in. I noticed the other day either my bladder or uterus is down by the vagina opening. My urologist took a look and she told me it was my bladder and uterus. She told me first she wants me to heal from the kidney surgery then she would give me treatment for the prolapse. What kind of treatments are there?
View 5 RepliesBladder Disorders :: Pain After Urinating
I believe I have an UTI. I am VERY clean when it comes to "Down There" It concerns me because It hurts when I pee, but at the very end. It also has a funny smell, as if you left urine to sit for days. Also, sometimes afterwards, my clitoris is waaaay more sensitive to movements and the way I walk. I've done some research and I've found that cranberry juice and water helps flush out the system. What do you think I should do? (I'm a virgin by the way, if that helps any) Thank you!! Also...I've used a different brand of soap when I wash down there.... Do you think that could've caused it?
View 1 RepliesMenstruation :: Pain In Bladder When Urinating
I have just recently stopped taking my birthcontrol for about a month now and I have just finished my period. The last three times I have had my period, The day after my period has stopped I get almost like a crushing pain in my bladder and I can barely pee. The first time it happened was three months ago and it lasted about a week, the second time it happened was two months ago and it lasted a few days and now today it lasted about 3 hours. I have taken a urinalysis and the doctor had told me I didn't have a UTI, he said he would call me if anything else came up and i never received a call (about three months ago). I have been with the same person for about six months now and prior to that with the same person for over a year and a half, and we always wore protection. There is no discharge or um, smell. Nothing unusual other than the pain I am getting. My doctor told me it could simply be changing hormones as my present partner and I do not always use protection. My town is very small and we do not have a family doctor, would really like some answers as the doctors at the hospital keep dismissing me as my symptoms keep going away.

Has anyone else had problems with cystitis/bladder infections when on Warfarin? This is a problem I have never ever experienced previously but for the last few days I seem to have had all the classic symptoms and am wondering if it could be Warfarin-related?

A week ago I finished a one week course of antibiotics to try to clear up a chesty cough, (didn't).
