Cramping when I pee



Recommended Posts

As anyone experienced any right side cramping or pulling when you pee since the surgery? I had a catheter in for the surgery and every since they removed it I have this pain when I pee. I called Dr. Averbach and he says to keep taking the Cipro my primary care prescribed but I just want to know if anyone else has had this problem.

I know I had cramping but I ended up being dehydrated and a bladder infection from being dehydrated.

I think you've already answered the question. Catheter, pain, Cipro. You've probably got a UTI and it's gonna take a while to get rid of the infection. If it persists, I'd get in touch with a Urologists.

I had the same thing and after I finished the Cipro, it took maybe two more weeks to feel better. The dehydration makes it worse. Hope that helps :-)

I just recently went through the same thing. My surgery was the first of December. I thought that I just had a very sensitive bladder due to the catheter. Come to find out I had a horrible bladder infection. I too took cipro for two weeks. I also added Azo pills to my daily Vitamins just for a while to continue helping flush my kidneys and bladder. But you sure do take it for granted when you can't urinate without pain. It is getting a lot better one day at a time. I just have to remind myself to drink drink drink. I have actually set alarms on my phone right now to remind me to get something to drink just to push through this as fast as possible.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
