hmm.... I've only had a few UTIs myself and I had a similar problem. I'd wake up about an hour or two earlier than I normally did and need to go to the bathroom like crazy that annoying burning nagging sensation. So I'd go and barely anything came out but it did have this strange sting to it, nothing horribly painful but a burn that stung just enough to annoy me. I realized that something was wrong when I'd sit down for a few minutes and get that sensation again. I also noticed that my urine was very dark almost an orange color sometimes with blood. So I'd get up and go whenever it came up (sometimes up to 30 times an hour XD) And drank about half a jug of cranberry juice. Citricy liquids are good for UTIs. But then after an hour or two it went away. This only happened to me once. The next time I went to the doctor, got meds to numb my bladder and the antibiotics. I took one of each and it was gone for me (I forget to take meds all the time but I hadn't had another UTI) Your urine runs clear when you drink plenty of fluids so it's not unnatural. Your urine should run a little on the clearer side or else you're probably slightly dehydrated. So the only advice I can give if you want to try and duck the doc a little longer is drink cranberry juice, the real stuff not a cocktail.

Could it be that you don't have a very big Bladder like me? (this is a random question...But do you have your period? Because if you do your bladder problems could have something to do with it? But hey what do I know ^^ )

I didn't read everyone else's answers, so sorry if I repeat.

Definitely sounds like a UTI. I'm prone to them, and let me tell you.. you NEED to go to the doctor and get antibiotics. If you don't, it will spread to your kidneys where it can do real damage. They sometimes will go away on their own, but it's unlikely.

Things you can do to ease the suffering for now: drink cranberry juice (and not cocktail if you can help it), take a bath with baking soda (or even just a regular bath), don't wear tight clothing around that area (like spandex or tights), that will just aggravate it (and maybe cause it in the first place).

Good luck!

You know, times like these I really wish we had the UK's system of free health care. Despite that what you could do is a little research into where you live and whether or not there is any doctor's offices in your area that work on a sliding based fee? What they will do is take into consideration the type of insurance and the amount of money you make and reduce the costs to make it more affordable. Also, the local Meijer here will prescribe most antibiotics free of charge, so perhaps the Rx the doctor would give you to clear it up will be free or fairly inexpensive. Not all drugs are extremely overpriced...well unless you're getting name brand stuff. :cry:

Also, if you're insured and the doctor is on the list of qualifying doctors they will bill you and you can pay at a later date or in installments. Trying to blame the economy or being low income isn't a very good excuse to let your health decline. Saying that, I'm somewhat of a hypocrite as I waited a year to get a followup test done for abnormal cells. That's because I went from no insurance to a fairly decent insurance company, and lab tests are expensive. Chances are what you have is a UTI, though and they'll just put you straight on antibiotics if that's the case.
