4 months ago my husband had his bladder@protrate removed due to cancer and now wears a bag on his stomach for the urine to go into. now the last couple of months he has had awful pain lower abdoman and testicles and pain in his penis. was bonescanned and car scanned all tests come back cancer free. he is on morfine tynonel 3 any any other pill they can give him but they don't help him at all. anyone out there have any idea where the pain is coming from? He was a very active man and not one to complain. but no one seems to be able to help him? the doc's at emergencey hospital say there is no sign of a kidney stone so what could be wrong? thank you

Thank for your concern. And the cancer was only in the bladder and protrate thank god. my husband seen his own doctor today, As all his tests came back clear. She thinks that all the drugs he was given by 5 doctors at the emergency dept in the hospital was making him constipated. He has been using enemas and last night he really had a good bowel movement. And feels better today. So he's off all the other stuff and we'll see what happens in the couple of weeks. Sure hope that's all it is.Thanks again

Hi,

Would you know the extent of the cancer? Was it completely removed? Is there a chance that the cancer has invaded nerves? Using a test to scan and look for it may not be possible.

A consult with a pain specialist may be in order. If the pain seems to be due to nerve damage – there are pain medications that target such pain. There may also be procedures to ablate nerves so he becomes pain free.
