I posted in the introduction section, but I have questions regarding my symptoms, and still seeking insight. I think I might have posted in the wrong area...
As I write this post, while I don't have pain, I have a feeling of tension. It is really hard to describe. I guess I could say it feels like I have clenched a muscle so tight, that it aches and burns.
Two weeks ago, I had a UTI (tested twice in a week, and both tests showed positive for nitrates, which indicate bacteria). I was on Cipro for 3 days and Micrbid (sp?) for a week. The symptoms started to go away, and I was feeling great. However, 4 days into the 2nd round of anti-biotics, the symptoms came back full force. I instantly went to the OB/GYN, had a test, and no bacteria, but both rbc and wbc. I was given a STAT referral to a urologist.
I met with the urologist, and he stated I had classic symptoms of bladder inflammation due to the UTI, however, I am having a CT scan in a week, and cystocopy in 2 weeks, just to be sure.
During the UTI, I had no real pain, just urgency and frequency. Throughout this ordeal, I have not had any real pain, other than what I described above. My lower back, and sometimes the middle of my back ache something bad, but I have been in 3 car accidents, so back pain is something I can deal with.
I have no history of any bladder issues. I got my first UTI in October, but it cleared up without any issues. I guess I am doing better than I was last week, but I cannot completely relax that area of my body (for lack of better description). I even had a massage today, and I could feel every part of my body relaxing, except my pelvic region.
As of Saturday, I still had a high level of white blood cells (wbc) in my urine.
Also, as of 2 weeks ago, I went of birth control pills, which I had been on for 5 years because of endometriosis. I am a hormonal mess, which is not helping with my high stress job...
Any insights?
Thanks!
