Protrate cancer? or?
by Ron__0, Feb 18, 1999 12:00AM
About 6 months ago I had a feeling of something in my rectum..
had a colonoscopy which was neg. About the same time started to
get numb feelings in gentital area after sitting. Also the feeling of a nerve
crawling in my anus. Pelvic MRI and pelvic xray both neg. Approx.
3 months ago started to get an erotic feeling in genital area. Then
a tingling shivering feeling under scrotum and at times testicles are
tender to the extent that it is very bothersome. Can get erections
but have a hard time maintaining...need an unusual amount of stimulation
and its not easy to reach climax. Dre is normal and PSA is 2.2. I'm 47
Now getting lower abdominal pains. At times have had a burning in perinium
and scrotal area. Symptoms are much less to nonexistant in the morning.
What ever this is it is making my hemaroids (sp?) also hurt and burn at
times. Ache behind tail bone a times and sometimes buttocks are sore
Just did 30 days of Levaquin....no help. Abdominal pains move around
from spot to spot, with a more consistent hurt in lower left below belt
line. Can urinate ok although stream may be a little weak...no burning
on urination or ejaculation and frequency is Ok. So far docs are stumped
and its not helping my mental state any. Any help appreciated...
Thanks

Dear Ron,
Abdominal pain and pelvic pain can be very difficult problems to diagnose.
MRI is an excellent examination to evaluate the anatomy of the intrabominal contents. Since no masses were found I suspect a neurolgic cause for your problem . Conditions that cause burning and pain include, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, and polymyositis to name a few. I would recommend that you see a neurolgist for this condition. An emotional cause must also be considered.
