Hello. I'm David, 48, athletic, non-smoker, non-drinker. Had a bladder tumor removed 2 years ago, then my doc(Wonelle) retired. Had recurrence of symptoms after I moved back to rural Ohio to be with my mom, who is 72 with advanced Parkinson's. Had a TURBT on the 8th, they removed 4 tumors. I was sent home with instructions to urinate within the hour as they had done a mitomycin treatment.(!?) After the long drive home, I could not urinate and went to ER. Foley catheter inserted. The mitomycin had been in my bladder for 5-6 hours. After a day I took out the cath, and had no blood or pain. But in 2 days I was having incredible cramping after urination. I have been using ibuprofen and vicodin 5/325 with Azo and cranberry extract, and the pain is intense, I can barely speak or move after a few seconds. I went to Urgent Care, saying it's probably chemical cystitis,( I did some reading) and now am taking 40 mg/day of prednisone with vicodin. I keep a med log for pain/meds/bathroom. It's been 2 days and the pain is back. I have not met with the doc who did my TURBT yet. No one will tell me if the mitomycin did serious damage to my bladder from being there 6hrs.(I never agreed to the treatment and was given zero guidelines) I was treated at the Urology Group in Cincinnati. I am due to see doc(who i met just before TURBT) soon... what do i do? I lost my job because I missed so much work... but I just want the pain to stop. (I have been reading this forum looking for answers)
