So 2 weeks today I noticed the usual cystitis symptoms though was very surprised as had not had sex for over a week as partner was away (looks suss I know but thankfully he hasn't questioned it)
Tried to treat it myself for a week but it got so bad, so much blood! Put a sample in and got short course of ABs. Although I told them that when I last had it 3 yrs ago the short course wasn't enough . Took them and felt better but not 100%, rang docs they said sample hadn't grown the bacteria they'd expect from a UTI, so I put another one in which came back normal.
So this brings us to today, last ABs totally worn off now, back to agony and peeing blood but now also horrendous back pain where my kidneys are, agony just to drive.
So doc says he'll give another prescription but not to take it til results back (it'll be 3 days and I'm in agony!!!) had to finally take sick leave for it after holding out the fortnight.
Should I just go to a&e or walk In centre? Neither of which I have ever used but I'm in so much pain and worried this is very serious.
