default
Posted on Tue, 28 Jan 2014
Question: Sept 23rd diagnosed bladder infection. Dec 1 it came back. First time urine not tested. Given a 3 day antibiotic. Second time it was E Coli. Given a 5 day antibiotic. Urine test done a week after antibiotic finished and it said the infection was gone. On Dec 31st had intense pain while urinating. Urine test showed negative too bacteria. A urine test looking for cancer cells came back negative. Waiting on the result of ultra sound. A little history. I am a 63 year old woman in relatively good shape. Stopped smoking 25 years ago. Only other bladder infection was 35 years ago. My mother died at 78 from bladder cancer. She had smoked most of her life. I have had stress incontinence for years and feel like I also have some urge incontinence. Because of this I had become used to running to the bathroom a lot so it took until the burning started to recognize it was an infection. Even though I felt my urine had a strange smell. I am now at a loss as too why the pain with no infection?
