Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 It’s been two years for me too and things can still be a bit unpredictable. No leaks for ages and then I get a bad one just getting up from sitting. Occasionally everything seems to want to explode at once. Could be worse!Bob From: ProstateCancerSupport [mailto:ProstateCancerSupport ] On Behalf Of sharrarj6724@...Sent: 25 January 2012 12:01To: ProstateCancerSupport Subject: bladder spasms its been two years now since my prostate was removed, and i still get strong spasms down there, and when i get them, i really don't know what i'm gonna get, gas, urine, crap,or all three. does any one else have this problem????

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I was diagnoised and treated with radiation in 2002. I still get those kick in the ass urges. Like you I have to go but I can't tell if it's going to be gas, liquid or solid, maybe all three. This especially after sitting in a car for a period of time. A bit dishartening after ten years but I've learned not to get up unless I have a place to go.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 FWIW -- I had nasty bladder spasms immediately after surgery, until the Foley catheter was removed. My first prescription was for oxybutynin (I may have spelled that wrong). It didn't help. My second prescription was for opium + belladonna suppositories. Those little beasties helped a lot. If you haven't tried any drugs, oxybutynin might be worth experimenting with. I wouldn't advise long-term use of opium. > > its been two years now since my prostate was removed, and i still get strong spasms down there, and when i get them, i really don't know what i'm gonna get, gas, urine, crap,or all three. does any one else have this problem???? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yes, I get that problem too. I don’t know if it was from the surgery, the post surgery radiation, or the new medications I am on. All of them will cause this. You can talk with your doctor about it but in the long run you may have to deal with a little bit of this and hopefully it will diminish over time.
