Basically I had a UTI last weekend (didn't get it confirmed as it was bank holiday etc..) Pretty sure it was - smelly discoloured urine, pain when going to the loo etc.. going to the loo very very frequently!!!!
This all started on the Friday afternoon until the Monday, when I needed to go back to work on the Tuesday it all seemed okay. ( I had drank gallons of water and drank cranberry juice over the weekend). Wednesday I was suffering again, really low back and stomach pain plus needing to go to the loo often but no smell or discolouration. Got appointment at GPs Thursday and he said no obvious sign of infection as the dipped stick didnt show up anything but still sent off sample.
He felt that my bladder was just being irritable after the infection. Gave me a prescription just in case it became worse again.
Since Thursday all seemed to be going well and I truly believed Dr as it seemed to be how he described it.
Today has been a different matter, some of the symptoms have returned. No smell or discolouration.
I have taken so many AB's in the last 2 years for sinus infections that I really do not want to start taking any more - am so fed up
I still believe Dr etc.... but am left wondering why I am still struggling with this infection after having a couple of clear days!
Obviously I know I have taken a lot of AB's for Sinus infections and this is a UTI - but more AB's!
