Prostate Pain

[js11]

About a year ago I was diagnosed with a prostate infection. My primay complaint was, and still is, chronic pain in the prostate area. I was given antibiotics (Biaxin). The pain began to subside several days after, but returned after about three weeks (while still taking the drugs). I switched to a different antibiotic (Cipro), and the same thing happened: the pain began to subside, only to return 3-4 weeks into the treatment. With my third antibiotic (Levaquin) the same thing happened again, only more quickly: 3 days after beginning the pain was much better; a couple days later it was back. So, after almost three months of antibiotic treatment I was back where I started.

I began to pursue alternative treatments, including supplements, acupuncture, and homeopathy. This seemed to helped, as at one point my symptoms were gone for about three weeks. But then they returned again.

Today, after 3 months of antibiotics, and several other treatments, I still have chronic pain in my prostate.

My question: Has anyone else had a similar experience of showing improvement only to have the symptoms return? If so, have you found something that proved to be helpful? I read that treating a prostate infection can require an extended period of antibiotics. But three times my symptoms returned while still taking the drugs, so it is hard to beleive that taking them again would be helpful. Has anything else worked for others?

Thanks for responding.
