Notes on Ecoli and uti infection

I've had symptoms since may, antibiotics cleared it but then I believe it has come back or I have prostatis. I took cipro twice, sorted me right out but also gave me pain in arms etc. Keflex is brilliant for uti. D mannose done nothing for me. Now I have a psa blood test tomorrow as it is getting me down. Work has been affected, days out with the kids etc. Really not nice.

Yes but when you were OK did the doctor give you a long enough term of antibiotic re Cipro...... I had raised PSA levels that decreased when I took 33 days on strong Cipro.... This is the correct length of course re MIMMS directive.......for prostatitis. It has been said and is being argued to date that are these short course of antibiotics doing more harm inadvertently than good--- i.e. Is the bacteria or for that matter multi bacteria being completely eradicated when short courses are administered?
It simply is not acceptable when a person is found to be better when antibiotics are taken only to find later
the symptoms return and usually worse than the first episode. Is medical science not sufficient enough to
ISOLATE THE AFFECTING BACTERIA OR IS IT A FACT THAT IT IS DOWN TO MONEY SHORTAGE THAT DRIVES THE WILL TO APPLY MEDICAL SCIENCE TO THE PROBLEM ?
Neglect can and does affect some men who have waterworks problems that eventually penetrate into the prostate.......... It has been reported that a prostate can give symptoms that are not an infection but then on the other hand is that because the infection was 'there but not detected?????? The little blighters are not seen by the human eye but they can be 'felt' as you will undoubtedly know form your own experiences!
A urologist said to me that I could not prove I had had an infection as he was ushering me out the door but I got in my reply -- well in that case after two months on antibiotics, where have all my symptoms gone to ?then?
