Re: Pain After Cystectomy/Urethrectomy
You are still fairly new to your bladderless life. I still have my bladder, but have read many messages from those who have had theirs removed --- I'll try to pass along some things I have read. It can take several months to recover from the surgery itself. One suggestion made by a member that sounds reasonable to me is that when she felt that "have to go" feeling, she would sit on the toilet until it eased. Somehow her muscles would relax, just as they do during urination.
You might want to consider the nerve block. It may be a temporary fix, but could give you some relief while your body has time to adapt. I'm so sorry you're going through this --- and hope you'll feel better soon.
Warm hugs,
Donna
