Having throbbing pain in back. CT scan normal.Took anti inflammatory pills. Is it normal?
Patient: Hi, I was treated for a severe kidney infection, and was given levaquin for 14 days. The pain in my back is still here- ot a throbbing pain but, a deep dull ache al ost like I am brused in oth sides and lower back. I have had a ct scan with contrast, all was normal I have no fever , just pain. I contacted my uro and was told to take ant inflammatory pills or 48 hours. Is this normal. When will this pain away? Doctor: Hello.  Thanks for writing to us.  After a severe kidney infection, mild remnant inflammation is likely which is causing the pain. It can also be due to a muscular spasm. Taking anti inflammatory medicines and hot fomentation in the area will be helpful. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
