Prescribed Tylenol For Back Pain After TURP Surgery. On Warfarin For History Of Blood Clots. Is This Pain Normal?

i had TURP surgery 21 November. I am experincing moderate to severe pain in my lower back. I am on Warfarin due to a history of blood clots. My doctor suggested taking Tylenol for pain. I only take the tylenol when the back pain is high. Is this normal? When can I expect these symptoms to end? Should I call my doctor? Thank you.

Hi,

The pain in your lower back could be related to:
- urinary tract problems (infections)
- genital problems

Usually, TURP does not cause moderate to severe pain. I'd suggest to:

- drink more water
- avoid straining too hard when passing the bowel motion
- avoid having sex until advised by your doctor
- avoid lifting heavy weights

You are also saying to be using warfarin; I'd advise to talk to your doctor as it could increase the pain intensity.

All the best!
