My doctor diagnosed me with prostatitis and I forgot to ask him how long the symptoms would last. he gave me Cipro 500mg and I have been on it since Tuesday 2/16. To me it does feel like the pain has gotten better at times, but then there are times that I don't know. There are times where it feels like the urge to urinate has gotten better, but then there are times that I don't know. it seems like I'm starting to feel it more in my legs and back now then I was when I went to the doctor. Did anyone have these symptoms and how long does it take for them to go away?
