you might double check all the symptoms on the links to see if they fit for you.
Then you'll have a better idea if it is or not.
Might be something else if most symptoms don't match up.

100% cranberry juice not cranberry cocktail juice if you go that route. Hope you get better soon

Well,,,today was another bad day so I let my mom in on it. She said to drink lots of liquids (which I knew) and if the pain isn't better by Saturday then she would have me go in to the docs that day. Wish me luck and health

You have it - I wish you luck and health

Thank you for that wish because it seems to have been granted. Last night I went to bed with no pain and I woke up today with no pain as well. I was able to get some cran-raspberry juice (100% juice) and have been religiously drinking that. That seems to have helped as well. So thank you all for your help and uplifting messages.

Sounds great Keep it up

Trying to pick my words very carefully as I am not a woman and offering advice.

I've been operated on 6 times for a strictured urethra. Pain and burning while urrinating and afterwards is just a part of my life as none of the urologists can give me a permanent fix.

I'm just throwing this out there as a possibility that your gyno or a uro can check. (After my expirience with this, I hope you don't have it). They use a cystoscope (???) to check the urethra if I remember correctly.

And I apologize if I have overstepped my bounds.

Thank you very much for the help Jo. I had a look at the symptoms and basically all of them seem to match up. No, I can't get to the store right now because my parents have the vehicles. The pain seems to only be at night and in the early morning because I am feeling perfectly fine right now. If the pain occurs again I will tell my mom but I am definitly thinking that I have a UTI right now.

Have you been tested for a bladder infection yet?
If those AZO tablets don't work, another way to go would be to look into taking Prelief tablets to change the acidity of your urine. Stop drinking the Cranberry and stick to water only. You should be able to get the Prelief tablets at most Drug Stores.
Also, there are two other things (uncommon) that you might look into down the road. They are called Intersitial Cystitis and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. These things are not very common at all.
However, I think that having a bladder infection is by far, the most common situation. And by the way, I have had tests come out negative and cultures come out positive. I needed the antibiotics! If I didn't have the culture, I would NOT have known until things got MUCH worse.Untreated bladder infections can lead to a kidney infection and this can get serious.
Don't let this pain continue. Almost always, the test simply requires urinating in a cup.
I'll give you a little hint. If you are afraid of seeing a urologist...then go to a family doctor or GP.

Go to the doctor!!!!!!!!!!!!!
