Two years after finishing radiotherapy for prostate cancer I am still having a lot of pain on urinating.?

The urologist carried out an internal examination and said the bladder was "pristine"and could find no reason except that radiotherapy affects people in different ways. Will I just have to accept this. I do not take painkillers as I am worried about long term effects.

I would go and see your doctor and talk to him/her about your problem before taking any pain killers..as there maybe an under lying problem,they maybe able to give you advice what you should do.I'm not trying to scare you but..you are better to talk with your doctor.

Your Avatar is a bit of a lie then?

But if your a genuine questioner - get a second opinion!

Yeah, I guess you will just have to 'tough it out'.

What I don't get, though, is why your avatar is so cutesy and obviously feminine - considering your ailment. Is it a gag or an accidental insertion of the wrong avatar?

Something you have to struggle with...I guess.
Love the Avatar.
