I'm waiting for the nurse to call back.

I remember that from my last procedure. It was such a joy to pee normally again.

Call your doc and get thee some! It's not a pain killer so there should be NO problem with him giving you the rx over the phone. It will make this pain stop instantly.
I have some prescription Urelle, which turns my pee blue and is supposed to help ease urinary discomfort symptoms, but it doesn't touch this.

On the one hand I do know that vinegar is a cure for everything, but I'm not sure how to apply it to this situation.

you have to wonder why the damn doc didn't give this to you in the first damn place. duh.
They gave me Urelle after the last procedure but I'm not sure it does anything. I see people debating pyridium vs. urelle on pee problem sites.
