Getting worried

[wheeling 18]

Today started fine but is not going good. I was at work and my urine was orange! Drank a lot of Water and the urine got better. But what has me worried now is since I got home from work I constantly feel hard pressure on my bladder like I have to urinate but cannot. It is very uncomfortable. Any reason for this ? Any helps?

You didn't say , but have you had surgery and if so, when?

All things considered though, the discomfort sounds like a bladder infection, which won't get better on its own. Should probably see your doctor.

Surgery was on 6/19. Haven't had any problems until today. Should I go to the er?

Sounds like a good idea to me. If you are in pain and can't wait to see doctor in the morning, I say go.

Orange urine could be just concentrated if you are dehydrated. It could also be a urinary tract infection. Since that will not go away on its own you probably should go see a doc and get checked out.

It sounds like a urinary tract infection. The emergency room probably isn't necessary but it may not hurt to go to go to an urgent care type clinic. This probably isn't a complication from surgery but the previous poster is right, it won't go away on it's own if thats what this is it will only get worse.

Thanks people. Called my doctor office and they hooked me up with the emergency doc and he thinks its a urinary infection. I m going to Cvs for a pill he's calling in. Thanks for the help all

Had one myself about 3 weeks out. Was drinking ok but still got it. Hang in there and I hope the antibiotics work. If it doesn't seem to work after 2days call back the doctor and get another kind. Not all UTI can be treated with just a basic med like amoxicillin. Bacterium and any sulfa based med is best. Or cipro.

I also had one about a month ago. I think a combo of the catheter and being dehydrated and my drinking enough Water to flush things out. A course of cipro and everythings fine!

Feeling better (mostly) today. On medication and it seems to be helping. Thanks everyone!
