xpost i dont know what to do?
i have hit a brick wall! i tried a binder....... just made me hurt more. tried spanx..... just made me hurt more. i am watching my sodium. i am getting in 100 plus oz of fluids. i am not drinking anything with caffeine. i am not out in the heat. i am getting plenty of rest but also getting in a moderate amount of walking. i have tried ice packs. i have tried a heating pad. nothing is working. the only med i have available for pain is tylenol. i found out on friday that i have a uti and started on an antibiotic that day. my pain is almost constant and i am having terrible muscle spasms. my ps has pretty much washed his hands of me. my pcp is convinced that all of my symptoms are from the uti. i have been on my antibiotic for almost 5 days and nothing has changed even slightly. i called my pcp again today and she prescribed something to help with the "bladder" symptoms and that was it. wth am i supposed to do? i NEED to feel better!!
I'm sorry you're going through this. You're worth more than a phone call to a physician can provide. I recommend you be physically examined in person to determine exactly what is going on if you're not improving. Anything short of that is a disservice to you. I hope they get this figured out and you feel better soon. Please keep us posted.
