Dealt with a similar issue for about 3 years..during that time I had more recral exams then I can remember Smh and had a cystoscopy and finally a colonoscopy which the doctors in urology at Johns Hopkins referred. Come to find out it was initially a infection that was treated with an antibiotic..but the pain continued to persist due to constipation from the pain pills that had been prescribed to me constantly during the whole ordeal. If you've been prescribed loretab, Vicodin, Percocet, etc..and have been taking them regularly, I would definitely bring it up to your doc to see if this could be causing the issues. Also as you could imagine I picked up a heavy opiate addiction that I'm just now getting over. Smh! But talk to your doctor about doing a colonoscopy..they discovered ulcerative colitis during the procedure and also saw problems related to the pain pills that were also causing alot of my pain. Good luck!View Thread
