dysuria, burning, multiple sypmtoms

ok so i have an embarrassing scenario. i heard online that you could get a pleasurable sensation by stopping your pee in mid stream. so i tried it and it didnt work. any way i tried pushing while my flow was stopped..eh not good. i dont recommend it. this was like four years ago and i did go to a doctor the day after, but i didnt tell him why exactly i was concerned i just said "i have a pee problem" and so he was confused and sent me to have a pregnancy test and thought i had a uti. this is what happened that day: i felt a pop, on my left flank and ever since then have had disuria and in the last two years, signs of edema in my thighs, and one night i got really really hot and couldnt cool down...felt toxic. and my hands and feet are recently cold all the time..sings of circulation problems. i just want to know what can i do, im trying to treat it naturally, because im embarrassed to see the doctor, i also have anxiety, so having the doctor not understand me, when i knew what i was talking about just made me frustrated and anxious. i have like a burning pain on the left side. and the night after this happened i peed out white cloudy pee, i had taken cranberry juice to try to cleans myself but it burned so bad. i was wondering if the pressure could have burst a hole in a ureter tube, but i cant find anything like this on the internet. i dont do stupid stuff like that anymore believe me. this happened when i was 16-17 and im 21 now,..symptoms keep showing up, my legs feel heavy and im worried it will get worse.

I agree be honest with the doctor they hear all kinds of things, many much worse then that.  

There a possibility that you have Interstitial Cystitis, and this "straining" simply trigger it, esp. when the cranberry causes you intense burning.  There is also a symptom of IC, that few talk about openly, that is a feeling in the urethra of arousal constantly to the point of being annoying.  This is very likely to be part of what may have triggered you to even try what you did... just a thought.  The most important thing is a good urologist can
rule out other problems as well as help you find treatments for the symptoms.

The swelling and right side pain however do not seem connected with IC though which is why like I said seeing a uro is important.  I would also encourage you to see a Pelvic Pain PT, after the URO rules out other issues.  The can often find things and solutions others miss.  Along with IC I have something called Pelvic Congestion syndrome, which is varicose veins in the pelvic region. My PT helped me soo much with this. Though this usually happens in women who have multiple birth esp large babies, I know of another young lady your age that for some reason developed this.  The straining could have caused something like that.  BUT again only a good URO or doctor can diagnosis for sure what is happening in your case.

If after seeing  a URO etc. they do think you might have IC pm me and I will give you links to helpful info. on it.  I have iC and am an IC support group leader here in Missouri and Arkansas, MOARK IC.  I do not want to try to offer suggestions at this point until we know the cause of your symptoms.

Keep us posted and hang in there.
We've all done silly things esp as a teenager, and more then likely
these issues were complicated by it not cause by it!
