Can't shift an infection after second laproscopy for endometriosis

I'm hoping someone can help as I am at the end of my tether. I had a 2nd laproscopy at the start of August where they found and treated the endometriosis.

Since then I have felt absolutely rotten. I have had a bladder infection since the op and have been treated twice with antibiotics but to no avail. The pain is horrible, I'm not emptying my bladder, when I do it hurts around my pubic bone, I can't stop sweating (especially on a night) and now I'm suffering from unbearable leg cramps that are keeping me awake (not sure if this is related but thought I'd mention it as it's unbearable).

Hey, thanks for replying :)

They found Endo on my ovaries, bladder and bowel which were successfully removed. They've done a test on two urine samples which confirmed I have an infection but they've sent another urine sample off on Friday to be tested-not sure when I'll get the results.

I feel so fed up :(

So sorry to hear that. I also got a bladder infection after my lap, the infection took some shifting, turned out there were only two Antiobiotics that would do trick / the implication I took away was that it was a hospital bug and I've always assumed it came off an unsterile catheter after I was unable to wee but not completely sure. Turned out I was intolerant to one of the drugs but the other worked thank goodness. hopefully if they can get clear on exactly what the infection is you can move forward.
