Question : I am having frequent urination after foot surgery three weeks ago. It's making me crazy. I'm not able to last but 30 minutes during the day and then at night about 1.5 hours. Pain meds are done. Is there a bigger problem?

Brief Answer:
Get urine tested for a urinary infection and blood sugar test done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX and welcome to HCM.
Your symptoms are typical of a urinary infection or diabetes. what you need to do is, get your urine routine and culture test, as well as blood sugar test done. Till the reports are available, you can start a course of ciprofloxacin, which your doctor will prescribe.Drinking less water is not the way to manage your problem. you should take 8-10 glasses of liquids in a day.
Get well soon.
