    Anyone have prostate troubles? If so, how do you cope? I can get five hours of driving in before I "have to" stop but I always have that urge to go well before then. Using a bottle while driving isn't an option (physically), so leave out that suggestion.

    I don't think I have prostate problems but I need to stop about every 2 to 3 he's too. Sometimes I can go longer other times I can't.

    Had to have interstem implanted! Its almost like a pacemaker to control the signal from bladder to the brain (give it your best shot)! Was about to bust every 30 min! But only produce a ounce maybe 2 . Doctor can help. Had to have my bladder scoped! And people freak about colonosp. Same camera but only one way to bladder! Best of luck! If any doubt please get it checked! Health is one of the most important thing we have!

    I am on a med that's supposed to help but haven't had any luck with it. Years ago I had some surgery for a blockage done and it involved more encounters with that camera than I care to remember.

    I feel your pain. They used the same gel the dentist uses to numb you up before they give you the Novocaine, it would have been the same if they had used nothing at all. I had it done four times in two weeks!
