Thank you for your responses!

To provide clarification to your questions, my food habits include some hot, spicy food (once every couple of days), mainly Indian and Chinese (chili hot sauce, etc.). I have only one cup of coffee in the morning (I have tried to cut down on coffee over the last few months) and then no hot beverages during the day.

The pain during urination (which is rare, once every few weeks) is during urination and some lingering after. Not before. I don't have a constant urge to urinate, it's more like the pressure of the urine flow is reduced as if it is coming out at lower pressure. Once in a while I feel like the bladder is not completely empty but this is also once or twice a week. There is no aching of the bladder as far as I can tell.

If you could let me know the exact dosage of the medicines, that would be wonderful. That is, what dosage of Calc c or Lycopodium, how many pills, for how long etc.

Thanks very much! I look forward to your continued advice.
