I saw something about numbing and that worried me. I really don’t like needles and unfortunately with all the issues the stricture has caused (UTI’s, massive ammonia overload and being in a medical coma for 5 days etc) there have been a bunch. They did an Xray of my urethra, and they forced radioactive fluid inside of me to visualize the stricture. That was unpleasant to say the least and was fairly painful.
It has to be done, but I am certainly nervous to say the least. If I know what to expect I try to be ready.
Best wishes to all and thanks. More questions later!
