Yea - my problems started with taking assloads (pun intended) of sudafedrine. Also, I have a cyst in my urethra probably caused from taking a few in the nuts (I was a catcher for 11 years). So, I've had two cystoscopies which is when they take a water hose with a camera attached and go in the end of my dork, power spray the scar tissue, and procede all the way to my blatter where he filled me up so I'd have to urinate. Picture me with my pants around my ankles laying on a table...the nurse walking around doing nothing in particular....the room is very cold and I'm shriveled up like a stack of dimes...the doctor holding my unit as he feeds the tube in me...he's giving me a play by play, "I'm now at the point of the cyst...I'm now spraying the cyst..." He can feel me getting more and more uncomfortable and simply says, "why don't you just put your head to the side and pretend you're somewhere else!"
The first time I saw him he thought I had vd too.

He stuck his hand up my ass and squeezed my prostate for about a minute. This was the most pain I ever felt in my life. When my eyes started to tear up he said "yea I know this is painful but it's only going to be another 30 seconds or so." Then, when a white-ish liquid started dripping out the end of my shriveled up pecker he wiped it on a slide and took it to the lab.
Now, when it only hurts me for about 12 hours instead of 3 days I feel pretty lucky.
EDIT - I forgot to mention I just turned 40 a few months ago too and I've been taking Flomax for 8 years!!!
