I had some [aom along the sides and the tip, not so much the base that I recall. The pain was pretty noticeable, came and went, and has now gone (at least for the past few months). My RC was 2 1/2 years ago.
There is a lot of healing going on from the nerves after surgery, so the pain is not surprising to me. Also, I think that that foley catheter can cause injury to some guys.
Dx 7/04, CIS + T1G3, Age 50
2 TURBTs
12 BCGs
Cystectomy 8/05 USC/Norris
So far, so good (kow)
