I worked for a urology office for 13 years...you have what sounds like pyelonephritis or something worse. THe sooner it is treated, the better. If your doc can't get you in, go to the ED. They can usually get you set up with a specialist right away.
Please let us know how it goes. Will keep you in my thoughts.

Have you seen a urologist for
a cystoscopy? I had one when I was 19, as well as an IVP because I was getting frequent infections. Have you tried Azo Standard from the drug store to see if the frequency improved? It numbs the urinary tract, but turns urine fluorescent orange. You could also try the concentrated cranberry pills if you think it's an infection, but I'm not sure that would be good for you if you have IC. Hope it's not IC.
Currently I'm having very cloudy urine with no other symptoms, so I'm taking cranberry pills. I think I just got dehydrated at the beach or maybe it's from being in the pool or something??
I worked for a urologist for years, and
he was not impressed with the surgical procedures at that time. What he did find useful was to have the nurse practitioner teach Kegel exercises. She would even use the internal weights to help people get more benefit from the exercises.
If you give the exercises a real try and they don't help you and you want surgery, make sure it's a urologist who specializes in the surgery and gets good results. Urologists tend to specialize, and you don't want just anybody doing a sling procedure or whatever the latest thing is.
Do your research because it would be terrible to end up with an irritated nerve or some annoying thing you have to live with that might be worse.

I would refer the poster to look down
the page where she on this date asked my friend again when we were going to take this to email, and stated she found it more odd than cute. Don't accuse me of trying to start trouble. She responded to an email that my friend submitted to her. I think the subject was I feel sorry for you, or something to that effect, then the post again about it being odd under that. Then mine which starts out PARDON ME.
I love the way you refer to everything as
YOURS rather than OURS. Did ya get a prenup, too, so when hubby takes off for a less materialistic woman you'll be left with YOUR house?
Believe it or not, the very fact that you keep referring to everything as YOURS as opposed to OURS says a lot about your relationship with your husband.
Poor dude. I hope he opens his eyes (or at least checks the bank account) soon! I have far too much self-respect to use my husband or anyone else to get what I want in life. I prefer to get what I want through hard work. It's a matter of pride. But, aside from your TRACT HOUSE, you apparently don't have a whole lot of pride in anything.
Reading your posts is making me feel increasingly blessed and thankful with my life, so keep on posting :-).
