Here is mine:
1) significant pain in the crotch area since the procedure, am taking pain medication and have attended the pain clinic at St. Michael’s Hospital, physicians say it is neuropathic pain that “might” someday go away
2) ED as well, this is the most aggravating concern for me
3) was approaching continence at night without pain medication but with medication I am incontinent at night
4)certainly lower energy but I do go to a health club and work out regularly
5) I get up 2-4 times during the night to urinate
6) bowel function mostly normal
Life is not exactly wonderful, but better than the alternative!
