Had the trip surgery three weeks ago

I'm really surprised at how rough it's been post surgery

      TURP usually works, but the recovery can be really long - it varies a lot from patient to patient. Some are OK after a couple of weeks, some take many months, most somewhere in between. I guess they didn't tell you that.
