All website and doctors say there is little discomfort with the stent and one can carry on normal activity, including sports.
A person I know takes pain killers and says he is still in tremendous pain. Can't do anything but lay in a chair or bed. Says walking even a few steps is painful, let alone doing any physical activity beyond that.
His doc says this is not right, his extended family says he's gold-bricking. A nurse friend says some men just can't handle anything foreign in their penises.
He says he screams when he pees, and is in tremendous pain all other times. This is not his first stent, and the pain is the same each time.
I would appreciate hearing any experiences I can share with my friend to buck him up in coping with his family's anger at his invalidity or that I can use to encourage him to do more, as people are asking him to.
