I can't pee without straining. it has been like this for a few days. i had a possible uti and it stung when i urinated but i was still able to pass. ?

Get care soon: Difficulty passing urine isn't typical for UTI, but it can happen, especially if you also have other UTI symptoms like burning on urination or urge to urinate (even if you can't). Are you sexually active? At risk for STDs? Initial herpes can cause temporary bladder paralysis with symptoms like yours, but usually would also have painful vulvar blisters, sores, etc. Anyway, see a doctor ASAP.
