Hey Lee. ABX's are useless without prostate massage. You will now
probably end up going Uro to Uro without getting any further relief.
Hopefully you can find one that will do a massage. Also keep in mind
that there are some other conditions that can be causing your pain.
Those would be Pudendal Nerve Entrapment or Genitofemoral Nerve
problems. Research these on the web, there is a ton of info. Both
nerve conditions mimic prostatitis symptoms.

I don't know what kind of the bacteria it is. They didn't bother to tell
me. Is the type of bacteria the difference between Acute and chronic
prostatitis?

I dont think it matters what type of bacteria is found. So-called
normal bacteria for one person can be a pathogen for another. The
important point is start one of the following therapies, preferably in
the following order:
ABX plus prostate massage
Genitofemoral Nerve Blocks
Pelvic Muscle Dysfunction Therapies
Pudendal Nerve Entrapment Investigation
If you have "burning" pain in the pelvis, testicles and inner thigh
region, Elavil may work as a pain mgmt drug. This helped me
tremendously early on by dulling the burning pain. The turning point
for me was prostate massage and azithromyacin (sp?) or the Z-pack.
Also look up the nerve conditions I mentioned as they mimic prostate
symptoms.

not its the severity of the situation. Acute(bacterial) prostatitis
suddenly appears out of no where and is very severe in its symptoms,
chronic (bacterial)slowly progresses.
bacteria is present in both.

That is overstating things a bit. For some reason some people do seem to do
better with the prostate massage, but I think that would be the minority. I
do tell people to ejaculate often. This seems to help, even if it has not
been "proven". In a real case of "acute" prostatitis (fevers, chills and
real sick) you would not want to be doing a lot of pressing on the prostate
as it can make thinks worse.

I have taken care of a few people that have a "pudendal nerve entrapment"
taken care. Many of them still seem to be having problems. Admittedly I
have only seen a few people and anyone that is going to be seeing a urology
doc are probably not doing great to start with.
It all goes to chronic pelvic pain being a complex problem and the
importance of getting a very clear diagnosis before going under the knife.
