Can UTI Cause Severe Leg Pain, Short-term Memory Loss, Poor Appetite And Blackish Blue Discoloration On The Leg?

UTI is unlikely to cause such systemic symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Many of your symptoms point to a chronic (long-term) disease process.
The possibility of an underlying brain or spine disease is high in your case considering your symptoms.
UTI (urinary tract infection) is usually an acute event along chronic UTI is also possible. But unlike other organ involvement, the possibility of a systemic upset is rare with chronic or acute UTI.
Hence it's advisable to screen yourself additionally for other conditions through appropriate tests like MRI brain, Serum Electrolytes, Vitamin B12 levels and ultrasound Abdomen to determine further course of action.
Hope I have answered your query.

Dr. Suresh Heijebu, General & Family Physician
