Nope! I read up on home remedies (none of them mentioned cranberries or juice), and whether I needed to see a doctor. I did try to go, but their power was out so they couldn't take me and I went home. By the next day I wasn't hurting much at all or having to pee every 10 seconds

You didn't have to see the Dr? That's encouraging. I'm trying to force as much water as I can, when I go out in the morning I'm getting cranberry pills. I have had them before but I never had one become this painful so quickly its scary, it makes me wonder if I'm not passing a stone or something. I take a medication that says may cause kidney stones. It keeps feeling like I have to go but just dribbles come out, but I'm trying to suck down more water
Quoting chichiwvu:drink a sh*t ton of water and make sure to completely empty your bladder each time you go (pretend you're pregnant and have a baby pushing on it, LOL). I had a horrible UTI a few weeks ago (first one I ever had - I thought I was going to die!) after increasing my water the pain went away in less than a day. I didn't even have to go to the doctor. It cleared up completely in 3 days.

Is that a supplement? I've never heard of it...is azo short for something?
Quoting ambersmommy730:
Azo also helps. It changes the color of your urine and it stains your undies. I wear panty liners when I take it.

drink plenty of cranberry or blueberry juice
Along with water. Please no sodas!
Try not to take it before you go to the Dr though,my Dr told me it can interfere with the est they run on your urine to check for uti and things like that
Get It now though and take 2

ehh.. everything was the exact symptoms of a UTI (like 5 of them). This is what I read. Look at the "watchful waiting" section. That's what I did and it worked. IT was a UTI, but not a very bad one I guess. It sure felt like it!

That prob wasn't a uti then...usually if they get the point of pain u have to get antibiotics. Sometimes u can get something in there (from sex,or wiping etc) and it can aggrivate your urinary tract tho

Ok, not sure if someone mentioned this yet, but you can cure an UTI with alka-seltzer. It has to be the regular kind, can't be cold or flu. I don't know why it works exactly, but I do know it works. If it's really bad, I have had to drink 2-3 doses of it over a few hours, but usually one dose works. Plus, you start feeling better pretty quickly. I started getting UTI's right after the first time I had sex, and got them for years afterwards. Luckily, it's not such a common thing for me anymore, but I can tell you sitting in a crowded ER for hours when you have to pee every 3 mins is awful, and this little trick has saved me many times. :)
