My partner had a remote prostrate removal 3 weeks ago.He has been doing very well until last night.The GP has changed his cholesterol medication and he started taking them .Last night he had shivers then temperature and chronic pain in his lower tummy area.
we contacted hospital at 8o’clock this morning and Urology dept are meant to be calling him back.So far we haven’t heard from them:I am 99 percent certain that it’s the medication change but he also has terrible problems going to the Loo despite drinking Lacotolose and drinking plenty of water the right foods he still has problems.
can anyone advise me on what else can be done to help he walks has done pelvic exercises everything that has been asked of him he has done.
i don’t mind saying last night l was really really frightened and it’s unbelievable that as someone who is caring for a person cannot get help when it’s needed:
He wouldn’t let me call an ambulance and l really feel that GP’s dish out medication without properly informing people of the side effects rather like he is a Guinea pig.
the previous medication for cholesterol he had none of these problems and as it’s the only thing that has been different l assume this is the cause of this particular setback.
Thank you for letting me vent Any advice would be gratefully received
