Hi all! For over the past week I have been struggling with urgency sensation. I have had this in the past, but it has been quite mild and not ever really an issue until now. A week ago today (Monday), I was so uncomfortable that I went to urgent care to see if I had a UTI. The doc said that the test was borderline, that it is a crude test and that they would send it out for culture. She prescribed antibiotics and would left me know the results in 3-5 days. (To make sure the right antibiotics were prescribed based on the culture.).
I followed up at the end of the week as my very uncomfortable symptoms somewhat subsided, but it hadn't gone away either. After several phone calls, I got the results late last night that I did not have a UTI. That the sample provided did not show that I had a UTI. I was shocked!
Now, I just don't know what to do. My friend referred my to a gynourologist that she likes and has used, but i couldn't get in there until January. I called my primary care (who was out of the office today) and left a voice message for her and her medical assistant updating them on this situation. I probably won't hear back from her until Wednesday.
I am debating whether to take Azo to see if that helps....or maybe Baclofen. Last night I only got 2-3 hours of sleep due to the significant discomfort of constant urgency sensation. .
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. I am at a loss. I can't sleep and am so uncomfortable and distracted, but need to work tomorrow and take care of my kids and family. I am becoming exhausted do to lack of sleep. I want to take the Azo, but I am a bit nervous....not about my urine changing color, but the unknown.
Any ideas or advice would be so appreciated! Thanks for listening!
