Cris,

You may not have a urinary tract infection. The sediment may be related to a stone. Do you have an appointment to see the urologist? You should get a full evaluation. With a negative culture and no response to cipro, lots of sediment in the ruine, the next step is to rule out a bladder stone. What did the KUB x-ray show?

Wise.

Like Dr. Young advised, I would make an appointment with the urologist as soon as possible to check for stones or to ensure Cipro is the correct antibiotic. Also make sure you are pushing fluids and emptying your bladder frequently. DH
