HELLO..IM HAVING STRESSFUL NIGHT BECAUSE OF MY BLADDER. EVERY 30 MINUTES I NEED TO PEE AND IT HURTS. IS THIS UTI? I CAN TOLERATE THE PAIN ON MY LOWER BACK BUT PAIN ON MY BLADDER IS UNBEARABLE SOMETIMES..AND MY DOCTOR IS OUT FOR CHRISTMAS.. IM NOT SEXUALLY ACTIVE THOUGH.. DONT KNOW IF ITS RELATED BUT I ALSO HAVE GERD FOR A YEAR NOW.. IM 26 STRUGGLING TO WORK AT DAY AND SLEEP AT NIGHT.. ANYONE KNOWS SOME PAIN RELIEF?
It definitely could be a uti, can you go to an urgent care and be tested or given antibiotics? If not, try a bladder analgesic like Azo, Uricalm or Uristat. I have interstitial cystitis and had several UTIs this past year and it's a real life- (and sanity!) saver. You could also try a heating pad, ibuprofen and avoid bladder irrirants until you're feeling better: no alcohol, caffeine or chocolate and stick to low acid foods. I hope this helps!
Yes it sounds like it.
JUST HAD MY VISIT TO ER CAUSE I'm REALLY IN PAIN..THEY INJECT ME A PAIN RELIEF.. HAD MY URINALYSIS AND ULTRASOUND.. BACTERIA AND PUS WAS FOUND.. GIVEN ANTIBIOTIC FOR A WEEK...
I HOPE THIS WILL BE OVER SOON CAUSE IM REALLY SCARED HAVING ANXIETY DOESN'T HELP..
THE PAIN ON MY BLADDER DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE AFTER TAKING ANTIBIOTICS BUT THE SUDDEN PAIN ON MY RIGHT LOWER BACK MAKES ME UNABLE TO WALK PROPERLY..IS THIS NORMAL? IS IT PART OF THE PROCESS? OR I NEED TO GO BACK TO ER AGAIN?..
Go back to ER. It could be something to do with your kidney if the infection has travelled up from your bladder. But it could also be something simpler like sciatica,which should be relieved by normal OTC painkillers like Ibuprofen. Does the pain travel down the back of your leg or over the hip?
NO JUST MY LOWER RIGHT BACK WHICH IS PAINFUL..YESTERDAY IVE GONE BACK TO ER AND DOCTOR PERFORM AN ULTRASOUND AND THE RESULTS ARE ...ME HAVING NEPHROCALCINOSIS ON MY RIGHT KIDNEY THOUGH THE DOCTOR DIDNT BOTHER .AND ALSO HAVING CYSTITIS WITH DEBRIS ON MY BLADDER..DOCTOR JUST GAVE ME ANTIBIOTICS AND PAIN RELIEVER..
trish,you must drink plenty of water to keep your kidneys flushed . Also cut down on salty foods in your diet. Do see your regular doctor as well. You will probably need further advice about this.
THANKS MARINA
I ALREADY DRINKING 3-4 LITERS A DAY WHICH IS VERY HARD BECAUSE OF ME BEING COFFEE MANIA..MY 5 CUPS OF CAFFEINE BEFORE NOW EVEN A SIP NONE..IM ALSO ON MY SALAD DIET WHICH IS SO HARD FOR ME BEING A MEAT LOVER...THOUGH I CANT EXERCISE BECAUSE OF MY BUSY WORK..IM REALLY TRYING BECAUSE IM SO SCARED AND IM STILL IN PAIN..MY DOCTOR ADVICE ME TO RETURN AFTER MY FIRST WEEK OF ANTIBIOTICS..
right lower back could be your kidney Trisha. Given the pain in your bladder and urge to urinate frequently, it sounds to me like you might be having kidney stones. What baffles me is that in this case they should have seen it with the ultrasound. Did they check those parts as well?
AFTER THOSE TEST THE DOSTOR JUST SAID THAT ITS INFECTION.. THE PAIN RELIEVER THAT THE DOCTOR GAVE HELPS..I CAN WORK NOW AND DOESNT FEEL ANY PAIN ON MY LOWER BACK..
Am glad to know you feel a lot better. What did the doc prescribe? If I may ask
CElECOXIB 200 FOR PAIN AND CIPROFLOXACIN 500 FOR ANTIBIOTICS AND TUMS FOR MY GERD
That is quite a lot of antibiotics. Be sure to take Fluconazole when you finish the antibiotic treatments. Are you taking any vitamins?
NOPE THOUGH A MONTH BEFORE I AM TAKING FISH OIL CAP..BUT I STOPPED BCAUSE OF THIS...
Given your condition, I definitely recommend you start taking vitamins or natural supplements to support your health.
Thanks..ill ask my doctor for a good vitamins for me..
Trisha, it appears your last comment has been deleted. It will be best to consult your doctor but I will advice you to research into D-Mannose. This is a natural extract from herbs.
D Mannose does seem to help some people who suffer from UTIs but not all. Its a type of sugar from some fruits and not exactly a herbal extract,although it is sold in herbal outlets. I would suggest you consult your doctor if you wish to take it....caution is advised with diabetics, and high doses can affect the kidneys,so do be careful. Do hope you get some permanent relief soon.
FINALLY MY DOCTOR IS IN FROM HOLIDAYS..I SHOWED HER MY ULTRASOUND AND URINALYSIS RESULT AND ALL THE MEDS THAT THE DOCTOR IN THE HOSPITAL GAVE..IT APPEARS THAT I HAVE KIDNEY STONE AND UTI..MY KIDNEY STONE IS TINY 4mm..
