Cause For The Pain Even After Taking Antibiotics?

Hi, I had Pyelonephritis (kidney infection) in september and spent a few days in hospital on IV antibiotics, I keep getting recurring pain which is currently getting worse - I had a urine sample tested for infection but it came back clear - what s causing the pain? Does this sound typical for a patient post-kidney infection?

Hi,
A properly treated pyelonephritis will not cause any long lasting pain. You need to undergo an ultrasonogram of kidneys and bladder to rule out other causes of pain, e.g. kidney stone, focal (localized) pyelonephritis etc. Where exactly is your pain? Are there any worsening or improving factors for the pain? Once kidney problems are ruled out after ultrasonography, other causes of pain like musculo-skeletal problems need to be evaluated.
Please reply with your age, sex and any associated medical conditions for further focused guidance.
Wish you a speedy recovery,
Dr. Raguram.
