bladder infection

hey, i think i have a bladder infection. this might be tmi but oh well, I am peeing all the time and not nessary a lot comes out, it does really burn its like this weird tingleing feeling. I feel like there is something pressing down there lke when ur bladder is really full but its not, and my stomache like below my belly button is all plumped out. does that sound like it could be a bladder infection and if not what coudl it be? is there anything i can do about a bladder infectino that does make me have to go to hte doctor cause i really dotn' have the money at this time, no insurence is present at the moment and money is tight. i was really hoping i could jsut do somethin at home or ova the counter.

Some people say that cranberries help with UTIs (which is what it sounds like to me), but my docter told me that it only helps to prevent, and sometimes can stop it in the begining of one.
Keep yourself really, really hydrated- don't drink caffeen, just tons of water.
Also, are there any low cost/free clinics near you? If you let me know where you are, I can check around and see what I can find.
