Ouch!!! TMI

I don't feel so well! I woke up at 2:00am, needing to go teetee. Oh My Mercy!! I don't remember drinking glass!! But I swear I am peeing shards of it!!! Ouch!!! I have another UTI, I am sure of it( first one in a while, thank goodness)!! It hurts to teetee, and it hurts when I don't teetee. I took some AZO at 2:00, so far no relief. Will be calling my pcp and begging for some meds. I am pretty sure I can't get in to see him today (his rncp left about 2 weeks agao so he is flying solo right now). I hope if I plee my case they will at least run a UA and give me some meds. In the mean time, any suggestions to help this?? I feel the urge to go teetee about every 10 minutes. It is pure torture!!!

I suffer from chronic recurrent UTI's so I know how you are feeling.  Double up on the AZO if it's not helping and stay on your doctor about getting in to see him/her today.  It only takes seconds to run a UA and another couple of minutes to write you a couple of scripts.  Be persistent.  If your doctor can't see y ou, is there a "doc in a box" center near you?  One of those walk-in centers?  They sure come in handy when you can't see your regular doctor.  Or you might try calling a urologist if your insurance doesn't require a referral.  When I have a UTI, I will do whatever it takes to be seen.

it's veterans day so your pcp's office might be closed. if so, i suggest going to the nearest urgent care facility like med-plus or something of that nature. i'm sorry you're feeling so bad. uti's are horrible and i wouldn't wish one on anybody.

Saw my pcp first thing this am. He gave me macrobid and UTA. Hopefully will be feeling better soon. Thanks for all your advice!

Praying you heal quickly Phyllis. UTI are very painful!! Have a Wonderful BLESSED night!!

A little late chiming in here, but one thing that will help with the pain sometimes is to sit in a warm bathtub for a few minutes before you try to urniate. It helps to relax the ureter/bladder and makes it a little more comfortable--but ultimately, if it is infection, you need antibiotics.

Good Luck!

Just a little suggestion, try drinking cranberry juice, that seems to help UTI's. Hope the meds clear up the problem.  Farmgril58

Thanks guys! I have had a couple of the pills that are suppose to help relax the bladder. I feel a little better right now. At least I don't want to go every 15 minutes. Just took my second antibiotic, hopefully things will be even better in the morning.
