29 year old male here that is having some new pains 19 days after TURBT.
Summary:
Is a dull pain near bladder, that starts usually by 2-3pm, normal 19 days after TURBT of 2.7x2.5cm tumor?
_________________________________________________________
Long version:
I had catheter at home while healing until 13 days ago (turbt was 9/12, cath removed 9/18).
The time with the catheter was the worse as I felt the need to stay in the house and I only leaved 2-3 times to go on a 30-40 minute car ride.
Once catheter was removed I felt relieved, though I still have (2) ureter stents until Oct 13th. Had itchy urethra feeling which required more AB's.
Anyways instead of the mostly evening and nightly moderate stent pain that will shift from left to right side. I am now having some dull (moderate) pain in what seems like my bladder, both while urinating and also just randomly. I'll wake up pain free, and be without pain for 3-5 hours. It'll start to kick in around 10:30am to noon, and start getting worse around 3-4pm where it'll fluctuate in intensity. And then it's the absolute worst at night.
I can totally tolerate it, but it worries me even though I am still healing obviously and still have two stents. I have noticed that since I returned to physical work it gets worse if I work more (I'm not super physical at work anymore, considering, but it does require me to by moderetely physical for 2-5 hours a day, and the work day lasts 8-10 hours [self employed], but the rest of the day I spend sitting in office, working with clients, and in general not grinding, bending over or standing).
Is this pain, particularly the dull pain in my bladder region normal? I guess what worries me the most is even though pathology said low grade, non invasive that the surgical report said there were a couple areas of tiny, tiny growth [where it was trying to expand] near my right ureter opening, and lower down as well. (I am not as much worried about the dull to achy to sometimes sharper pain in between kidneys where the left and right ureter lie)
