Does Cranberry Juice Help To Reduce Pain In Pubic Bone And Scrotum?

Tested positive with home kit for UTI. Drank cranberry juice 3-4 ltr/day for 3 days and seemed all OK. 2 days later symptoms started. Repeated. cleared up then few days later back. Originally had some kidney tenderness, and that has not reoccured since the 1st time, but what reoccurs is mild pain at the pubic bone, base of penis. If I do not drink the cranberry juice I feel certain it will get progressively worse. Never any fever or chills. Have a 30 yr history of kidney stones but do not think that is happening here. Concerned about cipro due to tendon warnings. I gather Keflex 500mg every 12 hours for 7 days is common. Can a week of my cranberry drinking solve this problem?
