I have a UTI and I wanted to get treatment right away, BUT it has taken me almost a week to find a free urgent care place to go to (I have Medicaid and there were no doctors in my area which would accept my plan) and I am going to go tomorrow morning, the only problem is I experienced severe back pain yesterday and although it seems to have dissipated, I have had a pretty bad headache all day today, I keep having to take more and more Advil for it.

My actual UTI has gotten better due to massive intake of cranberry juice, not all better but it hardly burns at all when I urinate and I have less need to urinate in-between the times I am using the restroom. But from reading posts here and other places, you need antibiotics to fully cure this, so I am off tomorrow to get some.

So my question is, with the back pain and (possible) fever is it now for sure a kidney infection???? I really cannot afford a hospital stay. Which I have read may be necessary.

So i had a UTI for a little and i started to get this pain in my side right below my lungs. And i went to a doctors appointment and they said i had a trace of blood in my urine. I’m not sure she prescribed me for the kidney problem or the UTI but i don’t feel pain when i pee anymore. Its just i have this sharp and aching pain in my side and i want it to go away! will advil work is there other things i can do to sooth it? Thanks

am not sure what caused it but my lower right back is killing me. It really hurts to sit for a long time, run, jump, or swing (baseball.) It hurts when I am not evening doing anything else too. I have iced and used heat does not seem to help. The only time it does not hurt alot is when a take advil. Anyone have any ideas how to stretch it? or what it might be? Also could this be a sign for Kidney Stones? I am only 15 and I do have slight scolocious but the doctor said nothing to worry about. I guess I do have a high sodium and calcium diet.

I have been in the hospital before, due to kidney stones. But the past two weeks have been very strange for me. I have been in the ER twice for "kidney stone pain", I was incredibly nauseated, and puked in the hospital parking lot, I was prescribed "Ciprofloxacin" because I also had a Urinary track infection, & it’s been over a week since I was in the hospital. I keep having themost intense heartburn/chest pains, but I want to wait it out at home. I have also been more anxious this week, more than any other week in my life, & I have no idea why. I am not sure if the medicine causes this? I have also switched my diet, as i am now a vegan, & do not eat meat, though I used to eat Pizza Hut chicken wings like there was no tomorrow, so maybe the uric acid has something to do with this. I have a yeast infection now because of taking the "cipro" but my heartburn lasts for about 12 hours, non stop, and hurts & makes me short of breath. I take tums, senna laxitive, and advil pm, nothing helps!!

My boyfriend and I have been living together for over a year. We are spending a couple of months at my MIL house until we can close our house next month. My MIL practically lives at church. Ive never had a big arguement with her however Im not too happy about the difference in treatment of my bf and his brother. My bf woke up today, with this major pain he was crying. I was scared cause he has a really big pain threshold. We were trying to find out what it was so she gave him some advil. After about an hour of getting ready for church she just left. Well, I convinced him to go to the hospital, as soon as we got there, I texted her various times to tell her how things where doing, She replied about an hour later everytime (wasnt she checking her phone every minute to see how her son is doing) Well, my whole problem is that I think God DOESNT mind if you stay at home trying to see if your son has somethIng serious. Specially if you are there at least 3 times a week. Deep down inside Im glad she didnt even go, I dont even need her at all specially since she is a Jehova’s witness, but I just have a problem with her not caring about him as much as it should be. Is this normal in your family? It turned out to be a kidney stone. I still think she should have been there at least to console him. He said not to worry about her, I really dont need her for anything, its just the continous uncaring attitude toward him compared to his younger brother who is 16 and wrecked our car and wasnt even really punished. But that is another story.
I can accept she is a bad mother, she really doesnt pay my bills, I just dont like her going around thinking she is a good christian. Even my bf has hinted thats just how she is.
