Does Cranberry Pills Cause Left Sided Lower Back Pain?

I have lower back pain especially on the left side. I thought it was related to physical effort but it has increased every day. I got some labs for a UTI but they came back negative, the doctor said it could be because I am taking cranberry pills. Could this be the symptom for something serious?

Dear patient
cranberry pills has no relation to back pain. If uti is ruled out possible cause will be back pain of muscular origin or instability. I would like to advise xray of lumbo sacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views. please get it done from the radiology centre nearby you. Meanwhile start tab ibuprofen 400 mg twice a day for pain relief. Local application of hot water bag will help in pain relief.if xray is abnormal you need to consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area.
