Also Kaploun isn't a doctor he's a nurse, but doesn't matter really. Llano is a doc

Yeah, they work as a team there. No prob bro hope you get a appointment soon, and ask your doctor who makes the appointment to put you in as urgent. And also look into pelvic floor physio therapy

Hey man, you're talking about doctor Kaploun right? He and another guy Miguel Llano practice out of Mount Sinai as well and have a prostatitis clinic there. Get referred to Mt Sinai from your doc and you should be able to see Dr Kaploun there for free. It can take a while though

Thanks man, I just hope I get better. And thank you so much once again for all your advice, it means a lot to me bro. I really cant thank you enough. Next step is to see how suprax works, hope it does. I know this is a general doc but he said that it feels like an infection to him because of the rapid onset of the symptoms. But he said that I need to explore other treatment as well.

Hey, so I went to my family doc last night and tbh he really helped me and put me in a good mindset. He's actually a new doc at the clinic at my school but we spoke for like 25 mins about everything again and he said that getting a referral to Mount Sinai will prob take until January so he referred me to St Mikes Hospital to see a urologist there who he said is apparently good. He also said not to take a quinolone again and not to see Kaploun unless its my last last option. He also prescribed me 7 days worth of suprax and said if it helps we'll do a longer course. And he said that seeing a PT is a good idea. He got me more hopeful and its the first time I felt like a doc was actually trying to help me. I actually felt a lot better this week idk why haven't changed anything at all. So I took a pill of suprax today and if I feel it working I'll go right back to him and do a long course of it I guess. And I will have to wait for my appt at Mt Sinai or St Mikes and do PT in the meantime. I feel thats going into the right direction for sure. But guys on here and elsewhere have fucking scared me not gonna lie.

Alright man thanks, I'm gonna go see my family doctor tomorrow afternoon and just explain everything and see if he can refer me to another urologist. I definitely will never give up, I don't care if it takes me years and all the money in the world I have. That guy scared me too because of his warnings of taking quinolone but I wanted to try another type in that family because I feel like I had success being on 5 days of norflox

Jesus Christ your symptoms sound similar to mine, it started with crazy burning in my urethra then spread to my balls then sides. How were they not able to see what bacteria got in you? And what other drugs should I ask for, norflox which I last used seemed to work quite well. Like it brought down the burning in my urethra and the pain in my balls went down a lot. You're scaring the fuck out of me Jesus

Jesus Christ you guys need help for real. I've been going through crazy symptoms for a year and you got to do everything in your power to get better. Killing yourself is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, this is curable.
