13 days into a new flare up !!!!!!!!!

Post by graeme »

flared up 13 days ago and is still with me !

I have been used to flaring just about once a month for the last 6 months for no more than 5 to 8 days so now I'm worried (you know how this things gets you going) :evil:

I'm not in severe pain like I have before but still its there and I'm about to get back into my stretching and everything which I had stopped.

I'm wondering why I flare. Is it the cold? I don't seem stressed? Happened a couple of days after masturbation though :idea:
Tingling also started before I had to hold redundancy speeches to work mates :idea:
Not sure but its the length of this flare that bothers me !!!!!!!

Anyway I have not been doing my moment to moment or stretches so they will be coming back (its so hard to do when your feeling much better, you kind of let it slip)

I will see how the next few days, weeks go hopefully it will go quite again !

this time of year I am starting to hate, am I the only none drinker in the world :sad:
Age:33 | Onset Age:19 | Symptoms:burning urethra, deep sore stinging around the perineum, dribbling | Helped By:when flare starts deep relaxing over a toilet to let out dribbling urine, hot bath, rubbing a heat cream on the perineum, Tens with a pad on the perineum, running, medication (solpadol) for pain. Current treatment: PT. | Worsened By:sitting, stressing over it, ejaculation, sometimes alcohol but I risk it. Been feeling a lot better last 6 months about 85% with a few flares lasting about 5 days. No longer having PT. Stretching every other night and I believe time is also a big factor for me

Hi Graeme, it'll pass. I suspect it's just stress and the time of year.

I came back from Lanzarote during which I was virtually symptom free and had a flare up that lasted about two weeks or so then it tailed off. Incidentally, when I say 'flare up' I should point out that it consisted of having to pee a bit more and a bit more discomfort in the urethra and prostate region so nothing like before although it was a bit disconcerting at the time.

A lot of the time it's just background noise now that hardly bothers me. Suspect yours will fade in a little while too.

Cheers, sleeper. I hope and think your right had a long hot bath and things have gone quite a bit now but next time I take a pee the post pain will come back (by flare I also mean an increase in symptoms which have been around 1 on the pain scale), not like the early day flares :boom:

Will see how it goes, it kind of likes telling me its still there even if goes to sleep for a few weeks etc :evil:

felling much better today in fact almost back down to my pre flare state :)

a bit angry with myself for letting it get to me (I almost crumbled) the thought of how far I've come and going back to then is scary :evil:

If I flare now and again it normally for about a week this time it was 2 weeks I will try and keep warm and destress and no masturbation. (Mrs preg and not up for it) :x

Graeme, I hope your flare up is over, but I am glad I came across this post. I have had about a year and a half with symptoms being much better, but over the past month things seemed to creep back, mainly for the past week and has me very worried that it will be back for good. Hope this passes as well. Seeing your post helps!
