Today Mum & Dad brought me home.
For the next few days I’m feeling a bit tender, the pain wears off after that.
After a few days, no pain, so I’m not taking any pain killers, but, I keep getting the sensation I need to pee, and only do a small wee, it’s often and little. This was day and night.
I started drinking plenty of water, but that didn’t help.
It was uncomfortable each time after having a wee, my wife kept trying to tell me I didn’t need the loo, I should take painkillers, but when you think you need the loo you can’t help but go. I was reluctant to take painkillers, as I was not in pain before going to the loo.
Eventually I took my wife’s advice and took pain killers, this actually helped. It took a week for things to settle.

I thought about what was happening, I was trying to go to the loo when I didn’t need to go, so I was straining my bladder which was causing discomfort.
A week after I came home, things settled, I was in no pain and I stopped taking the painkillers.
