Author Pain at the urethra after prostate surgery

i am wondering if anybody can help me with any sort of answer or
information to the problem i am currently having. Or point me to some
web site. I had my prostate removed last january and now after 9
months i still have some random pain with no pattern at all at the
urethra, never at night, just during the day, it starts by itching a
bit and then it turns into pain. I am currently taking antidepressive
to increase the threshold of pain.
if anybody can help me in any way, i would be very very grateful!
thank you

You might get more information by posting in
alt.support.prostate.cancer

But what you describe doesn't sound like a common experience. You may
have a stricture from the surgery or from the catheter or it may have
nothing to do with the surgery. You should talk to your doctor about
it. I would think a competent urologist could determine the source of
the problem. I don't see how an antidepressive drug would help.
