Can I Take Cipro For Lower Back Pain?

3 weeks ago, I went to the Dr with lower back pain on both sides. (I had a kidney stone in 2003, found prior to passing.) Pain was on both sides, so Dr didn't think it was stones, but urine showed slight infection. I do not have the common burning or frequent urge symptoms. I took Cipro for 10 days. 4 days after meds completed, pain is back and worse. I now have low grade fever, still "slight" infection in urine, stomach is very nauseated & constipated (not normal for me). Had x-rays of kidneys and lower back and all looks normal. I'm back on Cipro again, along with presnisone and Lortab. I don't like continuing to wait. I am 39yo female.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
Considering your case possibility of renal calculus with secondary urinary tract infection is highly likely. There are stones which are radiolucent and not easily picked up on xrays. I advise you to go for ultrasound of KUS ( kidney ureter and bladder ) as it's highly sensitive and even diagnosis radioluscent stones. Ciprofloxacin is antibiotics which is effective in urinary tract infection and you can continue it for 7 days. Take consultation with expert urologist with report.
