Yeah, turned out I have a congenital narrow bladder neck. Doc tried to stretch it out during cysto. Basically he put a shoe horn in my dick!!!! Pissing hurt like a mother fucker for the rest of the day after that. It didn't really improve much. He put me on enablex to try and reduce the need to piss 15 times a day. I have seen some improvement for sure since it was almost 1.5 years ago. I quit the enablex though cause I am on meds for the crohn's and pissing alot is the least of my problems now.

Glad to hear yougot a diagnosis. Not a common problem; not surprised it took a while to figure out. I'm sure you and your docs know this but important to keep an eye on kidney function (creatinine clearance) over the years as the higher than normal bladder pressure can cause damage to the kidneys over time. Not fair to have Chron's on top of that. Not fair to have either one.

Bumping this threat cause I'm at my wits end dealing with Prostatitis and Kidney Stones for the past 3 years.
Been dealing with kidney stones for better than 15 years but that was a cake walk compared to having both problems. Uric acid is the main factor and I have increase citrates and avoiding foods that trigger gout.

My quality of life is seriously diminished to the point that I miss on way too much. Was suppose to join my dad and brother in Italy for 2 weeks but couldn't go (no pun).
I'm sick of meds done naturals but no long last effect. Medical MJ helps only to a certain point.
I'm now doing all the tests and scans for the 5th time but I've lost all hope.

WG it's been 3 years how are you now and besides what you stated in this thread have you done something else that helped?
Cheers

Kenny, just one thought, get checked for Hemochromatosis, it's quite common but radically under-diagnosed and totally treatable but essentially fatal if untreated. Can't hurt to see what's up. Hemochromatosis represents in a thousand different ways. But if your ferritin level is normal you can basically just cross it out, so it's worth looking at.

WoW. I was never told that and I have Thalassemia minor. Too much iron is toxic for us but all my blood work never seem to be flagged of any problem.
I will look into it.
Thank Iceman. Much obliged.

Well, it turns out that in spring 2015 they finally figured out that I had chronic appendicitis and not Crohn's, so I think my whole abdomen area was just inflamed and that my immune system was fucked up.

In the last 1.5 years I have really gotten my diet figured out and lost 20-25 pounds. I wasn't much overweight before, but now I am feeling amazing.

I'll have like 1 soda a month max and it will be something with cane sugar/natural not death syrup coke type stuff.

I try to curb my caffeine intake to 3 coffees per day max. That helps alot.

It's not perfect, but I am pissing about half as much as I was before and only 1 or 2 times a night max.

I'm no doc, but it seems that treating the whole body (aka super good diet, lots of exercise etc) seems to always help these things right themselves more than just trying to treat the one issue directly.

Good luck.

Some improvement is better than and that's what I'm trying to get to.
