What is it with the amount of these things in PVD? Is it because they’re cheaper than cars, easier to store, less regulated, all of the above? Always see these stories but out of the loop as to the reason why they’re everywhere

I hope you get treated and feel better soon. UTIs are the worst. I had a poorly timed uti over one Thanksgiving which became a bladder infection leaving me to suffer through the most painful night of my life. Now I make sure to take daily supplements to help thwart issues before they start and to support my bladder/urinary tract health: a probiotic pill, d-mannose, and aloe vera pills.

I hope you're at a clinic already, but if not and you read this, get to one now.
You can try a CVS MinuteClinic if you really want to, but only if you can find one that will see you immediately. This can not wait until tomorrow.

> am not sure the most financially responsible thing to do

The most financially responsible thing to do is to get this seen and treated immediately, before it turns into something that requires hospitalization. It can only get worse and more costly from here.

They can turn into kidney failure remarkably quickly. Do not wait and see with a potential UTI!

Like everyone else said: go to urgent care/walk in.

Untreated UTIs are very serious, don’t tough it out!

Definitely go to an Urgent Care asap, won’t cost too much and they will give you a prescription you can pick up same day.

I believe they passed a bill that medical debt cannot be reported to the credit bureaus. Pay 5 or 10 bucks as you can, and ask for a sliding scale.

The one time I back the blue 💀

Urgent care can help you! Also CVS minute clinic can give you a script for UTI meds quickly. I went once and told them I have had them before and recognize the symptoms and they gave me a script right there while they sent my sample out.

Also, they sell those tablets that turn your pee Orange at stores without a script. It won’t heal you but helps manage symptoms. If you’re desperate, drinking some baking soda in water helps too.

Depending on where you are, I've had success with Primary Walk-in Medical Center in East Providence.

do you qualify for "charity" medical coverage? all hospitals have financial aid and if you make less than a certain amount, they will forgive the debt or significantly reduce it.

Check out the providence community health centers express clinic. They accept all patients even those without insurance

Def go in if you're in pain. A very close friend of mine recently was hospitalized initially with a UTI that turned into a bladder infection. Best of luck.

Go right away!

Either try thundermist in west Warwick or there's a free clinic in providence. Go get treated

Urgent care can take care of you. Try a non profit care center like thundermist.

Mine is the guys who yell at you to clean your shoes

100% agree

I would bet money none of the operators of those vehicles give a flying fuck about their license status.

I literally just got for LUSH. Sephora, I’d rather go to Garden City. It’s nicer.

I almost never go to the mall. My biggest draw has been DSW shoes and Old Navy
