I really don't like posting my problems but I've had half a dozen stints and major heart surgery and every major artery replaced no fun but they fixed me good and am doing real good ..what i want to tell you is that your heart can give you big problems but don't hold a candle to a prostrate problem if your having any problem peeing RUN dont walk to you doc.. the pain your prostate can give you is so far over the top. ..I had a cath for months and finally stopped peeing completly what they did to me and the pain was so bad all,I could do was scream and pass out from the pain they pumped 40 gallons of distilled water through my bladder I woke up and ther was boxes of gallons of water around my bed ....it took all night to flush .. when I finally had relief from the pain I couldn't talk my throat was shot from screaming I couldn't swallow for a month... this was 3 years ago and this is still hard to remember for a year I would wake up in a cold sweat and shaking..I'm ok now but I think reallyi know what ptsd is now...like I said I don't like putting my problems out like this but just want you to know how bad your prostate can be.. I had a deformed prostate that was pressing down on my bladder ..after the surgery. The next day I left the hospital with absolutely no pain at all never had any pain from the surgery at all. ..the fixed me again .. I drive right past the rest areas and stop at timmys for coffee with no problems at all....it's all good now...
