Pain and discomfort after catheter removal

To cut a long story short, I had a foley catheter inserted for just over 3 weeks, I then had a day clinic appointment where they removed the catheter.

I had the catheter removed around 2 and a bit weeks ago possibly slightly longer (

Not good with remembering dates). But since the removal I have had discomfort around my bladder and urethra, it really hurts when I pee, I spoke to the docs who gave me a course of antibiotics and said it could have been a uti but my urine tests came back a few days later and they were normal apart from a bit of blood and they have left it at that, but I'm still constantly uncomfortable and in pain? Has anyone else experienced it?

I know a bit of pain and discomfort is normal for around 24-72hrs after catheter removal hut this is going on far to long now and I don't know what to do.
