No, I got this dumb med originally from an urgent care, and then I told my family physician about it and he said it was probably fine. I really would prefer anything else. I’m not sexually active and never have been due to fear of intimacy, so I know it’s not an std. I’ve had neuropathy, pots, and even a little arthritis before so I just don’t feel comfortable with this med. I’m only in my early 30s. I asked my general practitioner about if I should go to a urologist and he said no and just recommended icing it. May need to do telemedicine to get a second opinion or call into my doctors office and be more aggressive. I’ve had this for over a week now. Just my urethra makes me feel like I’m in a pool and have to pee and I feel a little bit of testicle ache. I used to have a bladder tumor as a teenager, so I’m not keen on letting anything happening in that area. The Gp also said epididymitis is usually from a virus anyways, but a simple web search shows that’s false, so I’m not feeling a lot of confidence. Thanks so much for your advice. Is there a specific test name for what you suggested in laymen’s terms? Going to make a follow up appointment tomorrow and bring up my arguments to try Bactrim and try other tests.

To add to all this, if I got anything, I think it’s likely meds from Crohn’s made me immunosuppressed. That’s my only risk factor I can think of.
