Just a little update for everyone who helped me the last few
months with my problems. I had been having trouble urinating.
Flow was very slow and strained. Was up 8 times or more each
night with only a small amount of urine each time. I had aching
very bad in the lower back, too. I thought I might even be damaging
my muscles by straining so hard to urinate. Well, two weeks ago
my uroligist did a flow test which showed the flow was in fact
decreased so he tried to do a Cystoscope in his office. He could
not get his dialator into the urethra. This was very painful as
he attempted to do it and decided to try again in the hospital as
an out patient. The results?....Adhesions had developed in the
urethra which were restricting the flow. The bladder lining was
fine. Apparently just by inserting his tools, this has opened it
up and now the flow is much better!! The aching pain has abated
and I only get up one or two times in the night. I will be seeing
him for a follow up next week. I will ask him if he thinks this
relief will last or if he thinks the adhesions will reform. I want
to thank you all for helping me thru this time. I was very worried
and your help was appreciated. Thanks again.....Cheryl Cole
