If your bladder is cultivating bugs your pain as described will increase as will spasms. There are ways to lower the bug count in the bladder other than anti-biotics. I went from two infections every three months to one in a year or two by getting a supra-pubic. The sympathetic nerve pain you described in arms is horrendous but drugs do help me also. I am having an undiagnosed problem going on which I believe to be urinary related.

Taking such powerful drugs to mask the pain may not be the best thing. Call your doctor first. Best Wishes In a message dated 4/16/2009 11:12:13 A.M.
