I Have Had 2 Turp Surgeries, And Have Had To

I have had 2 turp surgeries, and have had to self cath for quite some time now. My urologist did some cauterizing of some rough edges on prostate, and since then I've been able to urinate on my own pretty well. I have had alot of issues with UTI's with alot of blood and clots, and thick white mucus. He didn't know what would have caused the thick white mucus. I just finished a 3rd round of antibiotic's with another UTI with blood, my Dr. always gave me ciprofloxacin 500 mg 2 x daily for 7 days. This time he gave me Nitrofurantoin MCR 100 mg, (Macrodantin) I took 3 capsules daily for 5 days, now taking one a day for the rest of the month. Now I am bleeding again and feel like it's all coming back. This has been an ongoing thing and the only the Dr. comes up with is a UTI. I have pain in my lower back, hip, it moves down my leg...and now even down to my ankles. Somehow I think this is all connected, but no one can figure out what might be going on. I've had ultra sounds of my bladder is all, besides scopes of my prostate which is fine. I think there is something else going on, because now it's even effecting my memory sometimes. Not sure if it's just the infection, or what.
