how to manage swelling and pain??

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!!

Oh Boy!  I hope you are feeling better!!  After being on antibiotics for 5 days and no improvement in symptoms I would definetly want to be seen again by a doc!  Keep the fluids going too.  Please keep us updated. 

I think the swelling and the binder r just the worst thing ever. This swelling is killing me, I feel like I am gonna rip apart. Just add lemon also to the water, other than that take it day by day. And after day 3 I woud have been seeing another doctor, even in the ER if need be.
