Hi ladies I haven't posted for a bit as just feel i am repeating myself.....no real change .....i took a urine sample for dipping last week which was sent off for culture it came back positive for infection so i was given yet another 7 day course of nitrofurantoin......just taken last one and still have the symptoms 😩 it's just mad......had a transvaginal scan this week .....sonographer said all looked ok to her so 🤞 with that...... i am using ovestin twice weekly at the moment but feel no relief......really am at my wits end with this niggly  bladder feeling......seeing doctor next week for scan/ antibiotic  follow up......just thinking after googling for England that it could be PFD????? your thoughts would be gratefully received xx

Poor you, nitrofirantoin for a week, when I had it it made me feel really ill.  I am still struggling like you, think things are improving then have some bad days like yesterday.  I have used Ovestin as I said before, for 5 months. I don't find it stings, so that is a problem for you ad you may need it more often.  It has made me put on a bit of weight in the last few months which is not good.  I know it's that and not something else.  You have my sympathy, it feels like chronic torture.

I feel for you. I'm surprised you were given a scan while suffering a UTI as my hospital won't do this. If you've still got symptoms I'd definitely get another urine check done even though you are fed up with it all.

I agree you do need a referral to a pelvic floor specialist. I had a lot of help from mine.
