Would appreciate any further insights you-all may have on this. It has been nine days since my TURBT. First two, had a lot of discomfort upon urination, treated by pyridium and oxycodone. Then next two (days 3 and 4), urination pain decreased significant and was able to get off the pain meds entirely. Then starting on day 5 and continuing, the pain has come back in somewhat different form, and while it is tolerable, it is considerable. Different form meaning that I can start to urinate without discomfort but as the flow proceeds, the pain builds, feels like it is in the urethra itself but perhaps that is just an illusion. Saw my urologist last Thursday (four days ago - today is Sunday 8/30) and he said that further pain is not unusual owing to the mitomycin he instilled right after the procedure, that is very irritative. So my general question is, how long should I reasonably wait to have the pain abate? I am back on the pyridium for now and it does help, but I know I can't take it indefinitely, and I don't want to restart the oxycodone. He did take a urine sample on Thursday to culture it to see if there was an infection; the urine had no gross blood but some microscopic evidence of blood - also normal according to him. Advice welcome! Thank you
