I get frequent UTIs. Have consulted w/urologist and had two cystoscope procedures. It suddenly dawned on me that when I have a particularly severe UTI which I have right now, I also get painful, red, hot, swollen areas on my legs. I never thought that the UTI might have something to do with the skin problems. I have been treated for suspicion of cellulitis and /or gout, but no Doctor has ever mentioned the possible association. I'm feeling pretty miserable, taking 500 mg of Cipro daily for 7 days. I am a 74 year old otherwise healthy, active woman. I would give anything to figure out a solution to why I get so many UTI's.
