My 8 year old is in terrible pain before and while he is peeing! It started about 4 years ago, he did not complain at first but we noticed he had blood in his underwear. I took him into dr to see what was wrong. They checked his urine and NO infection at all!!! then he started complaining that it hurts, we ended up taking him to a specialist and they said he has a broken urethra, Witch sometimes happens to boys??? Well the specialist said we could either do surgery or chance he will grow out of it. It has been getting worse as of the last few months, were as he has had some pain over the last couple years which the specialist said would happen, any time it seemed unusually painful I brought him in to see if there was an infection. Never has there been an infection, well tomorrow we are going in for an abdominal scan. Has ANYBODY had anything similar or any ideas to what is going on???
