Back in ’88 they were teaching the tap and credae method; and it was not working for me, until I started drinking beer on home visits. After several tall cans of barley-pop; I felt this strange sensation near my anus, the flood gates opened and the urine process was so forceful it blew my

I would cautiously suggest that you notify your primary doctor and tell him what you are doing with the meds. Taking such powerful drugs to mask the pain may not be the best thing. Call your doctor first. Best Wishes In a message dated 4/16/2009 11:12:13 A.M. Central Daylight Time,

Danny, I have experienced nearly the exact same pains you described in the same locations 24/7/365 for 20 years. The affected areas also feel like they are immersed in buckets of ice water. I've tried pain meds, anti-seizure meds, anti-depressants, biofeedback, acupuncture and hypnosis. Sadly,

If your bladder is cultivating bugs your pain as described will increase as will spasms. There are ways to lower the bug count in the bladder other than anti-biotics. I went from two infections every three months to one in a year or two by getting a supra-pubic. The sympathetic nerve pain you

I live with it the best I can. Keeping very busy has been my long term therapy. It gives me something else to think about. Idle time is not good for me. I do take 1.5 tabs of Hydrocodone in the evening. Doesn’t help a lot with the actual pain, but it helps me not obsess on it. If a doctor

No unfortunately. I don't want to give you false hope but what you're describing is what they told me at Craig hospital as the first stage of return. Normally it happens within the first three or four years. seeing as you're more than 11 1/2 years post I'm not sure what that means. That

A product I found on the internet with google is UTI Clear. It is a little pricy but personally I like it. 1000mg of vitamin C daily along with Methalemine Mandelate an acidifier helps lower bugs. Get checked for kidney stones annually. _ From: Danny Hearn

Like you, Steve, I have learned to live with it. As long as I can keep busy, stay interested in different projects-our horses, gardening, grandkids, my volunteer work, and the Internet, it is a big nuisance but not overwhelming. We all have different levels of pain, and I have been fortunate to
