Still in pain

Posted , 1 user is following.

I was diagnosed with uti a week ago afterbeing in pain for few days and then i peed blood which freaked me out. i have severe general and health anxiety. dr prescribed Nitrofurantoin for 7days. i needed to speak to dr yesterday about my antidepressants and she said that they couldnt tell from my urine sample which bacteria was responsible and if i still have symptoms when i finish antibiotics to drop another sample in to surgery which is what i think i am going to have to do because i dont think they are helping and everything ive read said there should be an improvement quite quickly . i havent seen any more blood but im still very uncomfortable especially with the dragging aching feeling down below and like someone has kicked me! are these normal symptoms of uti as ive never had one before. im 56 and post menopausal. im so scared im just sat in bed too scared to move which is part if my anxiety too.
