I have been dealing with a recurrent UTI over the last several months. My GP was prescribing Cipro which did not seem to help. I made an appointment with a urologist and he prescribed nitrofurantoin, which was also ineffective. I finally was set up to receive an IV antibiotic (meropenem) twice a day for a seven day. Each IV lasted 30 minutes. Two weeks later, and I'm back where I started. I have an appointment next week with a new urologist who hopefully will have a better plan.
I have a couple of questions. Should I try to find a urologist that specializes in patients with spinal cord injury? If so, does anyone know of a good one in either Syracuse or Albany New York?
I live in a small town in upstate New York and my medical choices are very limited. I could go on and on with the frustrations I had with my original urologist and my previous GP, but it wouldn't do much good at this point. I did switch to a different healthcare system back in August to try and get better treatment, but there are really no urologists in the area with extensive spinal cord injury experience.
