Hello. I just discovered this forum and your post caught my attention. Please see my story posted 1/27/04. Sounds to me like you may be suffering from reflex sympathetic dystrophy. At least that is what my pain management doctor and rheumatologist have concluded, and I think they know what they are talking about. I gave up on urologists a long time ago, because after consulting with five different ones I realized they really don't have a clue.
