after treatment.? About 3 months ago I developed a UTI. I went to the doctor about it and he gave me a proscription for 3 days, this didn't help at all. I went to the ER about a week later from the pain and the doctor there gave me some meds to take for 10 days and they seemed to help... Until a couple weeks later it came back again and the THIRD doctor i went to see gave me a larger prescription with multiple refills. This medicine doesn't seem to be working either. I'm fed up with the doctors. These are my symptoms as of right now... I no longer burn when i go pee, but instead almost immediately afterwards, or at least no longer than 5-10 mins i start burning in my vaginal area and I have to walk around or do something to keep my mind off of it til it goes away, just so i can sleep. I have stopped drinking sodas like the doctors told me. (now i will admit to drinking a few for the first couple of weeks i started - but I finally got off of them) I'm down to drinking just water. I try not to hold the urine in for too long. So I came to the assumption that maybe its a Yeast infection from all the antibiotics that i was taking. I have had a yeast infection before, but it was quite a few years ago. So I got some Monistat to see if it helps me any. I don't have insurance so I cant keep making these trips to the doctor. I'm tired of dealing with their "here's-some-antibiotics" crap, anyways.
I have stopped taking the antibiotics that the last doctor gave me, but i still have some refills left over in case I still need them. I'm not having back, stomach, shoulder pains or anything of the sort. I just have a burning and its very uncomfortable. And occasionally my urine will smell really bad.... but the last doctor told me that could be a side effect of the antibiotics. AZO seems to help with the pain, but I cant take those for very long either, so i try to stay away from them in the first place.
Now my question is... Could this be another part of my UTI? A yeast infection? Or something far different? Sorry for too much detail, or not enough. I would just like to get some answers from people other than doctors just pushing their antibiotics and bills down my throat.
Thanks.
