That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your queryI would have personally suggested that you have an MRI of the spine to make sure that there was no serious medical condition affecting you. Now I dont know what you mean by "bc" in relation to what the doctor told you. But I dont think a uti could really explain the backache, unless it is because the pain is affecting the other parts of the urinary system as well.I personally would suggest to my patient an MRI, ot at least an X ray of the spine. And may have added a prescription of methycolbal, and suggested physiotherapy and fomentationI hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.
