Someone please advise... In the last week of August, I had a really bad UTI; after a week of it being refractory to tons of water and cranberry products, I called my OB/GYN who prescribed Bactrim. No change. A week after the Bactrim course was over, I went to see my MD, where UA revealed WBC's and RBC's. By this time you could actually see debris in my urine. He prescribed Cipro. Little change - still pain (not burning) and feeling of not having completely voided. A second urine culture, however (post Cipro), was completely normal, no infection, and my PCP said my symptoms are because of my IDDM. Yes, okay, I agree - but am I just supposed to live with the pain (a pressure-type suprapubic pain, as if I have a hernia IN my bladder - is that even possible?) and feeling of the inability to go all the way? What if I have a urinoma, an abscess, or uterine fibroids encroaching on my bladder? Sex is somewhat uncomfortable because of this, as well. What's going on? Please help.
