Wow, I've never had a UTI like that -- mine have all been localized to my bladder. So sorry you had such an awful one, but glad that was "all" it was and that you are on the mend!

Be very, very glad...it gave me a new definition of pain. The urgent care doc thought it was something very different, so glad she was wrong!

Finally googled it: Pyridium is the medication I was thinking of. It has always knocked out terrible UTI pain for me when I used to get 'em:

I seem to average about one infection a year, and pyridium never does much of anything for me. I get better results from drinking lots of water. Hard to do, when peeing hurts, but the more I drink, the less it hurts to pee. So weird.
PSA: Don't screw around with bladder infections. My grandmother died from one. It's not pretty.
