I will write...read my post, it's the last one...as of 11/3/09
I have or have had most of the symptoms you guys have. I had the testical ultrasound, ct scans, ct scans with dye,x-rays,prostate examinations, and even a cystoscopy,all of this stuff with several different doctors and some a few times. After all this a doctor did a prostate massage and had me urinate only a 1/4 in a cup and he looked at it under the microscope and said I had chronic bacterial prostatitis. I have been on ciprofloxacn 500 mg for 2 months and my testical pain just went away by 90%! I have another month to go! Make sure if you have a prostate examination that he or she has you urinate into a cup afterwords to check the white cell levels. I also have a history of kidney stones and still have 7 in one kidney and 1 in the other thanks to IRAQ and screw military doctors I found most do not care. I do not have any STD's that I know of. I KNOW THE PAIN PEOPLE! I got out the Military after 7 years just because of this pain. I however like most of you do not have Insurance and I know that tuff as well, but dont give up there are programs to help it just takes time finding them but no one will do it for you it takes calls after calls to local clinics, hospitals, univeristy's also search blogs like this. "FOR PAIN" This may help you! I have taken Hydrococdone-APAP 10-325 these seem to help more than anything I have taken I was on 4 a day so 120 a month but I am off now because the pain is almost gone, even stronger meds like oxycodone did not help. Also the DR gave me Terazosin 1mg to relax the prostate. "I cannot tell if these work!Take a sleep aid if you can like Sleepmd which is over the counter to help you get rest. Get a bottle or cup to keep by your bed to urinate in during the night if you go often that way you get more sleep and wont have to get up every 5 min to walk to the bathroom. "We also do this in Iraq so we wont have to walk a mile to a porta john" If it's good for the U.S. Army it's good for this situation. Try a heating pad on high it seems to releave the pain in the penis tip and helps you sleep. I have also tryed Walmart Hydrogen Peroxide, mixed with water 50/50 with a baby syringe to clean the urethra just by squirting it in there. "NOW THE CRAZY PART" I had a Foley catheter after my cystoscopy due to getting stoped up with blood clots, The nurse used a numbing cream out of a small tube and squeezed it into the head of my penis to help with pain. So after that when I had that pain at the tip of my penis I used Baby Orajel nighttime formula to help dull the pain before I went to bed, it may burn for a few seconds but not bad. Also dont forget hot baths with just your torso in, legs and arms out if you can, it takes time for that heat to penetrate the muscle's.Make sure the tub is clean, clean with bleach or something close to kill any bacteria, I add a few teaspoons of bleach to make sure no bacteria is there to get into the urethra. I heard if you have pain near you anus which I have not that you can use a Icecube to help control it some. PLEASE GUYS WE ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS FIGHT! DONT GIVE UP HOPE! jamesinfla if you or anyone else needs to talk email me jason_springs@hotmail.com I have had those thoughts as well and thought of taken all my own life when the pain was unbearable but we can not give up hope. If you ever feel that bad just look and see how many of us have the same problems. Hope this helps guys!
