Had Bladder Lift With Hysterectomy. Suggested Risk Of Renal Failure. Taking Naproxan For Arthritis. Related?

I had a bladder lift about 10 yrs ago with my hysterectomy, and havent had a bladder infection since. In the last 2 yrs i have been told im high risk for renal failure, and have had to cut back on my arthritis medication, naproxan. The last week i have been feeling like i have a bladder infection, the feeling i constantly have to pee, it stings a bit, and most of the time there is very little urine. I take ditropan and normally pee 2-3 times a day, now its every 10-15 minutes, could this be kidney related or bladder?

Hi ! From your history, it seems that you have a urinary infection which may originate anywhere from the kidney to the bladder. Urinary infection as you know will give rise to all the urinary symptoms what you have mentioned. In case of me being your doctor, I will advise you for a urine routine and culture/sensitivity test, and depending on the sensitivity I will also prescribe you some antibiotic apart from an alkaliser to relieve your stinging sensation.
I am not aware of the situation for which your doctor has labelled you as being in high risk for renal failure. But once they have labelled you , you should cut short of all your pain killers, and other medications against which you are advised. Good luck.
