| Anyone have experience with these? I'm constantly feeling the need to go to the bathroom, and there's a weird feeling when I do go, it doesn't burn, but it's a bit painful, and when I do go, I don't go a lot, just little spurts. I have my follow up appointment with my OB/GYN on Wednesday from the d/c, can I talk to him about this, or do you go to a regular doctor for these issues? This is irritating beyond belief, I'm tired of feeling sick for nothing.  |

That's exactly what it sounds like to me. I wouldn't wait because it only gets worse. If you can see a doctor now, I would recommend it. If you can't see a doctor now, drink lot of water and cranberry juice until you can (and stay away from carbonated drinks).  Hope you feel better soon. |

Ditto, caffeine is supposed to make it worse too. There isn't much that actually relieves the symptoms, so you could be pretty miserable by Wednesday. If you can see anyone sooner I sure would. |

Yep that should help but ideally get a script from the doc!!!! |

| Sounds like a UTI! Drink cranberry juice, tons and tons and tons of water, and go as soon as you feel like you have to. That will help a little until you get into the doctor. |

Yep, almost certainly a UTI. Sorry, Marie.  |

Can you believe they don't sell Cranberry Juice here   I've started drinking a lot more water, I'll admit a few days before and up to I hadn't been drinking much. It's helped quite a bit, my appointment is tomorrow so hopefully everything will be ok. |

| You can get cranberry in pills....I keep a bottle on hand. As soon as I feel one comming on..I take them to cut it off before it gets really bad. I have done this ever since I had a really bad infection once and I actually started having really painful uterin spasm's and I had to drag both the kids with me to the ER because Leithan was out of town. |
