It does sound like a UTI gillybob so it would be best to take a sample to the surgery to have it checked to make sure. If you don't have a sample tube then they will give you one at the surgery or you could buy one from the chemist.

They may or may not suggest antibiotics and I have heard that cranberry juice helps.

Best to have it checked gilly. UTI is the likely suspect - they're not always accompanied by pain, blood or temperature.

drink lots of cranberry juice,it calms the bladder snd will ease the pain.When I had a horrible bladder infection the GP decided antibiotics weren't the way forward and told me about cranberry and I've drank it ever since.Hope you feel better soon

Over the last few weeks I have been suffering from a dragging pain in/around the bladder. I constantly feel the need to urinate but there is no pain when I do (relief for a minute or two). This could be stress related or my MS showing itself but its getting me down. Does anyone have any ideas of something that could help.
