Prostate pain for last 4 days

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.

    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?

      Thank you for checking in.  This morning my pain is mild but I know it will increase throughout the day like it has for the last 5 days.  I will call my GP doctor and try to get an appointment.

      It seam like more of a back problem.  Your ok at night while your laying down but during the day of sitting and moving around it get worse.  You have no problem going to the bathroom and you said you ejaculation don't hurt.  It could be a nerve in the back .  There are nerve and muscles all conected in the lower area.  Best thing is to have it check.  Please try to realx and don't pick up anything to heavy.......Ken

      Thank you.  I have not and will not be picking up anything heavy.  I will be seeing my doctor on Monday to check things out.  Still no issues going to the bathroom.  I have an inversion table at home and I will try it over the weekend to see if helps this pain.  It has helped my lower back pain before.

    I was able to get an appointment on Monday with my general physician.  It is almost afternoon and my pain I would say right now is about a 3-4.  I have been taking Advil.  Is there anything you would recommend for me to ask the doctor when I visit him?

      Best thing is to tell him everything and also tell him you have no problem with going to the bathroom.  They may want to do a x-ray of you back.  Hope thing work out ok for you  Ken

      John if your not drinking enough it going to hurt but tell your doctor.  If you get a chance get some cranberry Juice that may help some.  Remember you did not have a problem till today Tell him everything on Monday  Ken

      Don't get down John. You catching the problem early. I ignored my symtoms until they wouldn't let me ignore them. Not a smart move. Go to the doc tell him everything, get the tests down that doc recommends.

    Thank you all for the support.  The weekend went well although I was laying down most of the time.  There was not much pain.  This morning there isn't any pain at all and I am urinating fine.  My doctor's appointment is late afternoon.  I will be sitting down most of the day and I have a feeling that the pain will return.

      Hello john2001a.

      Stress and anxiety is another factor that can induce a problem with levator ani muscle. When you are lying down, the muscle is inactive

      When you wake up you're fine and then perhaps after some time you start to strain...

      Are you an anxious type of person?

      I am a very anxious person.  It is often difficult for me to calm down and I have been off of anti-anxiety meds for about 6 months.  Would that muscle also cause burning and a slowing down of the stream?  Friday I was also feeling like I was sitting on a ball.

      I am too an anxious person. I am afraid a lot of people in this forum are.

      But I dont think only tense mucles are the cause for urinary problems. I am not a doctor but I have learned some things because i have the problem some time ago. I am in postoperatory of BPH and my pelvic pain has not resolved.

      Perhaps you are lucky and you are in initial phase. If you don't have BPH I think you could have some type of cystitis. Talk with your doctor.

      Drink water 2l/day. Do not delay urination. Be aware of the tension in your pelvic floor and relax. Don't sit if you can. I think my problem also started with the chairs.
