Bacterial Prostatitis - Residual Discomfort In Thighs
I was diagnosed with acute bacterial prostatitis (confirmed by a semen culture) recently. I did about 5 weeks of levaquin and most of the symptoms went away. The only problem that seems to linger is this strange sunburn-like feeling in my inner thighs. It's just always warm and irritating down there. It's not painful. It's just noticeable enough to prevent me from forgetting about this whole awful affair. Has anyone experienced this? Did it ever go away?
The only explanation I can come up with is when the prostate was swollen/inflamed at peak infection it knocked into some nerves, causing a residual sort of heat in the thighs. I don't know though.
