Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

I have suffered with Prostatitis for more than 20 years. The size of my prostate has grown over the years to 90 grams. I have been getting up a
from 3 to 6 times at night. I have been miserable and have decided to go through the Aquablation procedure.
I am two and a half post the procedure, the urine flow is significantly better but I am not fully cured yet.
Since the procedure, I have been having tremendous pain right after urinating.
I spoke to my doctor, he said not to worry. I have to allow some time for the prostate to heal.
I have done some urinalysis test, the result came back with white blood cells, proteins in the urine and an increase of Leukocyte Esterase.
They have given me antibiotics for possible UTI.
After taking the antibiotic for 3 days, I am now peeing blood.
I was told that I might have some serious inflammation and suggested that I take 600 of ibuprofen and turmeric to help lower the swelling.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Paul

I am also getting the pain after urinating (4 weeks) and am also on antibiotics (Cipro) - which often works as an anti-inflammatory. Apparently the inflammation is slow to clear and as tissue has been removed, the various muscles are having to move further and clench harder. So like any muscle that has been unused, it complains.

Ibuprofen sounds like a good idea.
