Shingles, Oh boy!

I have a lot of experience with urologists. They get lots of things wrong and often disagree while both being specialists. I wouldn’t assume prostate if your issues just started. Could be anything. You could have shingles and a stone. Could be inflammation. I can say, sit down to pee. It’ll put pressure on things and you can get more out. Stay hydrated. Don’t drink carbonated things and maybe take some of those cranberry pills. Help stop bacteria from holding on when you can’t flush it out.

I have been drinking cranberry juice. The flomax has helped a bit. Yeah, due to the location of my rashes, I'm sure inflammation is a probable cause of the not being able to pee. I could post pictures, but the photos would be censored, and not for the rash.

FIFY. It's the chickenpox virus, not the measles.

I know I just wanted to see if you knew!

Well, I finished my horsepills yesterday. I went to bed last night about 0100 and got my usual 3 hours before having to pee. Back to bed with a pain pill because I was shaking I was in so much pain. Woke up again about 0530 and was standing up to pee. I looked down and there was blood all over me and the toilet. My blisters had burst and I was drenched. I gauzed them up and used TP for padding, cleaned up and went to sit on a trash bag to keep from staining the chair.

Hate to hear the OP had the shingles. Hopefully a fast recovery.

I got the shingles shot after my mom had it completely around her waist. Said it was the worse pain she ever felt.
Now they have have the new vaccine that is supposed to be far better. The VA gave the first dose, said they would notify when it’s time for the second. Don’t remember how long it is between doses.

Got the newer only one-shot needed dose of 'Zoster' last summer. My Mom had shingles and I wasn't going to play with any of that stuff at my age
