Worked every time!
BTW, My prostrate is similar to yours. I take 1 Ibuprofen before getting into bed, by doing so I rarely have to get up during the night and rush to the outhouse. At first I had to take 2, but now only 1. Doesn't work for everybody. Good luck!
Hey Jim,

Never thought I’d get medical advice on the Ford Barn, but I’ll have to try that!
