Trimethoprim or nitrofuantoin I'd generally used in the UK for UTIs I don't know what it's like in the rest of the world but if cipro or amoxicillin hasn't worked I'd suggest one of the mentioned ones even as a 3 day course

Atasol is an over the counter pain pill,it works great.. I only take it at nite.. It is only in the states now.. My pharmacist orders it for me every two months..
I don't take any of those strong Meds too harsh!
