UTI and abdominal pain

Every time I get a  UTI, I develop an odd crampy pain like sensation in my lower abdomen. No over the counter pain medication helps? Any suggestions?

Bladder spasms are thought to be the cause of this painful sensations. Ask your doctor for phenazopyridine. You need to take it 3 times a day for no more than 2 days. It will change the color of   your urine but the pain relief will be instant.
