I have prostate area pains for the last 4 days. The pain is zero when I wake up from sleeping but as the day goes along, the pain increases slowly. My job is mostly sitting down. By 4pm, I have considerable pain. I've never had prostate issues. No pain while urinating and no pain to ejaculate. Any ideas on what it could be? Perhaps nerve pain because I have had a back lower back for the last 15 years but it has not been hurting lately.
Good evening. John. Do you feel like your seating on a ball when your seating straight in a chair. If you do thats your prostate if not and you dont have any problem going to the bathroom and ejaculating It's most likely your back all the muscle in that area are all connected. Are you on any pain meds Take it easy Ken
Thank you for the reply. It does not feel like I am sitting on a ball. The pain seems to be inside that area and is a strong but dull and throbbing pain. It is 5pm here and the pain in considerable, I would say about 6 on a 0-10 scale. I have not taken any pain medicines but today I will take some Advil to help.
Then it not the prostate. It's most likely from your back It a pinched nerve that is in the area. It when you move around. Just to relax and have a good evening Ken
So where does it hurt? The area between the scrotum and anus?
Thank you. I will see how things go tomorrow. If the pain continues I will go see a doctor.
Yes, that area but about 2 inches inside the body. It doesnt feel like I am sitting on a ball but there is some pressure inside.
I'm no doctor but thats where my pain is and its from my prostate. Stay on top of this. If it is prostatitis get it under control before it gets out of control
It has been 4 days. Tomorrow is Friday. Do you think I should try to see a doctor tomorrow or wait until Monday? When I left work, my pain was around 7. Im home now laying down and it is about a 4.
Try a "sitz" bath for relief. You can "google" it for details. Feel better.

Thank you, I will have to get one of those. I took some Advil and I have been laying down for 2 hours. The pain has gotten worse in the last half hour or so. I am very uncomfortable. It is a strong but dull type of pain - not sharp. If I am like this tomorrow, I will have to see a doctor.
If it still hurts tomorrow I'd see a doc. I say that knowing what I know now. If I was 25 I'd let it ride because I wouldn't know any better and there was no such thing as the internet back then. We were still chiseling messages in stone tablets.
I will defintely see a doctor tomorrow if I continue to have pain. It is hurting pretty badly right now. I am 40 years old and Ive never in my life had pain in that area.
I would try to see your GP not an urgent care doc. They just patch up up and send you on your way
You don't need to purchase anything. Just fill a bathtub with hot water, just enough to cover the area that is in pain. Soak for 10-20 minutes.

Are you urinating frequently and drinking water? You may have urine retention due to another issue.
Be carefull if your doctor put If you in antibiotics. If there is a bacteria in your prostate, the first one must be a final and definitive treatment (at least 30 days on cipro) If the initial treatment is not enough, there is a chance you develop chronic bacterial prostatitis.
Good luck trying to find a doc that will chase down what type of bacteria is causing your problem. Most of them just prescribe some doxie or cipro and hope for the best.
Another consideration could be - are you taking statins or have you been checked out for hernias?
Good morning John. Just checking on you this morning. How did your night go. How are you doing this morning. I hope better. I will check later with you. Ken
