I get reoccuring bladder infections at least once a month and usually I control them with antibiotics, cranberry tablets, home made cranberry juice, hiprex, ural and a lot of water. Recently they have been a lot more painful and nothing except for the antibiotics help. About 5 days ago I finished a 10 day course of antibiotics and I already have another bladder infection more painful than the last one. I have been booked in for an ultra sound on my bladder and my kidneys but until then I have to figure out how to deal with them but I don t know what else to try, I can t even get to sleep due to the pain.
