This is week 3 trying to come off cefalexin, to no avail , as soon as I am 2 days clear of the antibiotic it starts building again , pain , swollen urethra, blood makes it hard to fully void the bladder , because I can't stand to keep it in , it starts to burn and radiate pain.im off to the gp tomorrow to get antibiotics and more oromorph, i hope it won't matter I'm one day earlie ordering the oromorph but I've been in so much pain I've just taken it . I can't wait for this bladder to be out. Fingers crossed I hear something this week. Hope everyone is doing ok? As best you can xx

I feel for you,it’s miserable.Have you tried urinating standing up ? I found I could empty more in the bladder doing that.I used to have to gently press over the bladder but that might be too painful for you.Love Jane xx

I will try that , got the gp to put me back on cefalexin, I'm not coming off them again until the bladder is out , last 2 days have felt like I was dying , pee was like puss and the smell dear God...x

I hope this lot of antibiotics work.I needed 3 or 4 lots to get rid of a hospital aquired Strepococcus infection that sounds similar to yours.The smell was appalling and I felt terrible.Have you got a date for the surgery yet ? hugs love Jane xx
