Brief Answer:
You probably have a urinary tract infection! What drugs are you on?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
I have reviewed your information fully and this is suggestive of a possible urinary tract infection. You will need antibiotics for complete treatment. Ciprofloxacine is the most commonly used as most germs are sensitive to this. In addition, it will also be important to deposit a urine sample for testing. The test will confirm the diagnosis as well as isolate the exact germ responsible for this. Your primary care doctor should be able to handle this easily.
On another note, I will like to know the medications you are on as some cold medications can actually cause urinary retention. However, painful urination in small quantities is often uncommon.
I Hope this helps. I hope to hear back from you. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Thank you. I'm diabetic and taking insulin Lantus 64 units and using metaformin also trilipix for high triglycerides and a Staten. I am taking a medicine for my thyroi. Also diclofenac for pain associated with a herniated disc in my back. Also taking multiple vitamins ranging from D3, something for help with prostate, B 12 and coenzyme Q 10 and a fish oil supplement. I'm currently taking ibuprofen for the pain and an Ambien to help get to sleep. It's basically started when I was given by a supplement by someone who said it would help with my health called Zeal which is a homeopathic natural supplements of various types of herbs and herbal remedies. I've also had difficulty breathing one exerting myself.d
Brief Answer:
Non of these drugs can cause urinary retention! Most likely an infection!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have reviewed the additional information. This makes me think an infection is the most probable cause of your infection. As mentioned before:
1. Get a urine sample to the lab for testing.
2. Take ciprofloxacine 500mg twice daily. Your doctor must provide a script for this.
3. Drink much water and fluids to help cleanse the urinary passages.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
