Hello Everyone,
I am a new member to the forum, after having been an active member on the IBS forum. But here is my story. I need to see what you all think.
About a year ago I was hospitalized for a week with what appeared to be a nasty case of food poisoning. And since that time, my GI has been problematic (IBS). Have had multiple conoloscopies, CT's, SBFT's, etc. and I think we have pretty much ruled out IBD.
Over the last several months, I have been noticing almost constant lower abdominal/pelvic pain with more frequent urination of much less volume. I am a male (41) and have had cytoscopy, urodynamics, ultrasound of prostate, PSA, etc. performed recently. They tell me my bladder muscles are weak. My urine stream has been less strong for a while. They tell me my prostate looks pretty good.
The pain is like a burning feeling, like my bladder is full most of the time even though I don't believe that it is. My docs have not yet said cystitis. Does this sound like cystitis to you?
Please know that over the last couple months I have been having drenching night sweats, along with difficulty in sleeping. Does anyone else get night sweats, guys?
My Uro thinks I have pelvic floor issues and is sending me off to physical therapy.
Now since I can no longer tolerate the pain, which used to subside somewhat toward evening, I am wondering what drugs the doctor can give me to alleviate some of these symptoms. Any help would be appreciated.
This is really starting to control my life. Now I have to deal with this on top of the IBS. Thanks!
