Have had this condition nearly two months, everytime I think it's easing it comes back, started with urinary problems, burning urine and pain in penis, started cipro and tolterodine, the tolteridine has helped urine issues but still getting pain in pubic area, Anus and perineum and now starting to get pain in lower back and hips, been on cipro for five weeks but doc says as it's non bacterial chronic prostatitis it don't always help, I can't take ibuprofen either as allergic so is there anything else to help with inflammation and is anyone else having these symptoms

    Prostatitis becomes chronic after three months, oral antibiotics have a chance to work before it becomes chronic.

    Ray- your Dr needs to do a Ct scan to see if there is anything that may be causing this. I had some similarities and it turned out to be bladder stones that caused long prostatitis. Kidney stones can cause this as well. You might get another Dr's opinion. Good luck

      Hi Barry thanks for reply, my back today and hips have been awful, nothing seems to relieve it except a hot water bottle that takes edge off, it's like a sharp ache that seems to burn too, was yours like that, I will try saw palmetto, thanks very much
