Newly diagnosed, had a TURB two weeks ago.

I am the queen of the TURB or one of them. And there are turbs and there are TURBS. It depends on if they are doing deep bites or shallow it depends on the situation. In other words you get bite by a shark or a minnow. Have you talked to your doctor about medication to control spasms and pain in your bladder?

For a bit you need to get pragmatic there are products out there called male shields. I find that it is better if I am able to just manage inconstancy myself it is enough of a bother to have without having to share the indignity. I do not have it often from my diversion but I can get what they call pouchitis once in a while and my Indiana miss behaves.

I know that at the moment you feel that this is a never ending nightmare but please know it takes time to heal and process. I have seen times I didn't think I would ever get better, but one day at a time we handled the problems and got through. Now life isn't perfect; it wasn't before but one can always hope. Unfortunately this journey we are on at times is more of a crawl than a race, just keep in mind what it did for the tortoise.

Marble, was a CT scan also done? In my case and many others it is often done to get a complete look at the urinary tract to be sure other issues are there. Just a thought.
