A urologist is a surgeon, and you don't need a surgeon for your problem at this point! If you don't start to feel better ... then ask for a referral [if you need one], but there isn't a whole lot more that should be done, other than taking it easy, taking pain meds, and being patient. Sounds like your doctor did just fine!
