[QUOTE="tthomas922, post: 68307, member: 13741"] Hey Dr. Rotman, I wanted to update you on what has happened since we last messaged. I got a second opinion from another urologist on 3/27. At that point I had been off TRT for close to two months and had been off the levoquin (2 week dosage) for 3 weeks. The levoquin cleared up the prostate infection and I never did go on the avodart. The second urologist said he would have never prescribed the avodart that my prostate size and symptoms didn't warrant it (like you had said). He ordered blood work for PSA and testosterone and the PSA went down to 1.2 from 2.4 in 1/2017. The infection must have been lingering for awhile because in 8/2016 it was 1.9. Testosterone though is down to 136. The second urologist said I could go back on TRT and I just started that this week. Anyway, thanks to you and Nelson I was able to have educated discussions with my doctors and be proactive in my TRT. The second urologist said that prostate infections are not unusual for older men and that testosterone was not the sole culprit. Thanks you for help! [/QUOTE]
