I had mine done yesterday. The procedure went great with only one little problem. The anesthesiologist was putting in my IV in a strange spot in my forearm. He went to deep and it blew, my arm started to hurt, swelled up and I almost past out. I never had this happen in the past. Once he removed the IV and put it where it should have been in the bend of my elbow , I was good to go...LOL... At the end of my procedure I had 5 of the Urolift staples inserted into my prostate. It opened the passage way up pretty good from the pictures I was shown after I was awake.t. Hopefully now it will improve when I pee.. I still have an urgency to pee, doc said that would pass once my bladder learns how to contract with the opening. One thing I already noticed, I did not have to get up to pee at all last night...YAY... however when I had to pee, it felt like my whole lower abdomen was swelling and cramping at the same time, even burned a little, I had to take deep breaths, to help try and calm it down. Maybe a pain level of 4 but only when I had to pee. this morning it was much better, that pain level has dropped to a 2 when I pee now. Doc prescribed Uribel to help with the cramping and pain. I could not take it because of an aspirin allergy. Doc told me to get OTC Azo standard to help when I pee.Picking it up this morning. I'm looking forward the recovery stage to past. Then I will be able to know how effective it was for my problem.
