Bladder chronic UTI and urgency

It seems to me UTIs being not permanent cure, doctors become agitated when visited. I know mine is. Towards the end of my appointment, I tried to ask about cranberry/d'mannose she got up walk toward the door and said, "you have another uti go to urgent care". Her compassion is no longer. Did you know Mayo Clinic said they don't have enough Uro doctors to see for Utis? They turned me down from all three hospitals. Thank for the advice, Kathy

Seriously? We’re not talking about a typical UTI. We’re talking about 20 UTI’s in 16 months starting with normal kidney function now in CKD stage 3b. These UTI’s cause struvite kidney stones which cause UTI’s which cause stones. I can’t get off this merry go round. This doesn’t warrant specialized skills? Kidney stones are noted to be the 2nd most painful event a human can experience. I’m so disappointed.

My advice still stands. When someone posts that they are desperate and thinking about “not being here anymore” because they are suffering, I feel their pain too. Your doctor sounds like a jerk. Believe me, I have encountered plenty of doctors who dismiss my feelings, symptoms and desperation and just want me out of their face. Usually it’s because they are incompetent. You deserve better. You deserve answers. And you deserve a life not dictated by pain. Please consider getting a second opinion from another urologist (and a nephrologist). It sounds like something other than a UTI is going on and a good doctor will want to figure it out for you. Keep us updated. The people on this website care. Including me.
