What causes severe backache while suffering from UTI?
Patient: I went in to see a doctor last weekend on Sunday, it’s Thursday now. I went in due to a UTI, but I’ve been taking antibiotics since Sunday. I had intense back pains when I went in and I’m still having the same kind of pain. I’m really scared that it’s something more than a UTI. Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.I have gone through your query. Better to do a urine culture and sensitivity test to rule out pathogen causing infection and to know the susceptible antibiotic.Ultrasound examination also should be done to rule out possible kidney damage.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Nishad BN
