Nothing compares to being scrubbed down before skin transfer! I had 1 and that was enough! Broke my nose twice ! The pain does not even compare!

Sorry to hear you have been struggling thru this Mike...although I have never experienced gout, I work with a couple of people that do, and it appears to be a very uncomfortable thing to deal with.
I hope your doc gets you on the right medication that will give you relief! |

I particularly like the part about the metal rod and no effective pain killer... |

Ihave had Kidney stones, (4 times), Gall Stones (once, then the gallbladder was removed) and chronic prosititus. I would have to agree, Kidney stones are probably the worst. Have never had gout, but ironically, I take Alpurinol every day. My chronic prosititus was making life miserable. I would have flare-ups that lasted for eight or nine months. The burning, the pain, the urge to go all the time, it definitely sucked. I had every kind of (disgusting) test done by three different Urologists, (ever had a sicoscipy? Now THAT is a lot of fun!), they could not find out what is wrong. Finally, my current Uro did one of those 48 hour blood and urine intensive tests. He found that my uric acid was pretty high, (does 9 sound high?, something like that, can't remember). Anyway he started me on Alpurinol. The Difference was IMMEDIATE and INCREDIBLE! I have had relief for years now. I still have flare-ups occasionally, but no where NEAR as bad or last as long. My Uro theorized that the Uric-acid crystals were continiously irritating my prostate.
I don't care what the reason, all I know is this medicine is a wonder-drug for me and I feel a million times better! Oh, and to the OP, My best for your relief from pain. |

Had numerous of these procedures.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystoscopy Bladder cancer... They shove a camera up the tip of your penis through your urethura and past your prostate before arriving in your bladder where they inflate it with saline soulution and have an excrutiating look around. All while awake and no anestethia is allowed other than some topical squirted inside your penis (which hurts just as much) in the event that they perforate something they want you to scream out in pain. I would not wish this on any man. I have to get one done every 6 months for the rest of my life. Bladder Cancer has an 80% recidicism rate. Your eyes water from pain when getting this done wide awake. To say that this sucks is a mild understatement. |

Gajin, you described the procedure and effects perfectly. I have only had three done in my life but would rather remove my own appendix with a garden trowel. It got to the point where I would take Two VERY strong sedatives before the procedure, Valium or Xanex, and listen to classical music on sound-canceling headphones during it.
That, almost made it bearable... almost. |

It was Schubert's second symphony to be exact, but if Ozzy Ozbourne was the only music available, I would have been listening to it... anything to "get me away" from what they were doing to me down there. You know, don't mean to hijack the OPs thread, and I sincerely wish you releif from your pain, but as long as we're on the subject of this... disgusting procedure, I wonder if it is the psychological effect of the whole thing that makes it almost unbearable. I remember when the Urologist was describing it to me before my first one, I said something like: "You're going to shove WHAT up WHERE!?!?!? " And something along the lines of... "This is AFTER I'm already dead right?" I seriously was pale, sweating, a little shakey before they even started, I'm sure you can understand why. The Pain is definitely bad, and even when it's not hurting you still feel this probe poking around where things just shold NOT be poking around. It's the... the... "Wrongness" of the whole concept. At least in my world, that whole area down there is a ONE-WAY street, and when something goes the wrong direction, your brain just goes haywire. |
