18 years later

My son's complicated j-pouch surgery was in 2000, at age 8. (I was a regular here for many years.) His physical and psychological health have been severely compromised ever since--he is how 27, and the whole story is much too long to tell. For the past 11 years, he has had severe, intermittent, burning penile pain that seems to be due to urinary dysfunction related to his surgeries. He is scheduled for cystoscopy to rule out stricture or other structural problems. Wondering if others have experienced anything like this. He actually has PTSD from all of his surgical procedures, so  "opening the door" to more procedures is causing untold distress.
