Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having pain in my back on both sides above my waist for some time. 2 weeks ago I felt nausea, headachy, frequent urination and went to an urgent care physician. I had a urinalysis that showed that I did have a UTI. He prescribed Bactrin for a week. I took all and began feeling better. After taking all of the Bactrin I went to my regular MD and had another urinalysis, which was clear. But my back still hurts. I am still tired. And I do not have much appetite. What should I do?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your backache might be related to renal or vertebral column problems. You should perform a renal ultrasound, and a blood analysis to check renal function (creatinemia and blood urea). If after this check the doctor says that you don't have any renal problems, then you should consult a neurologist for a physical examination, because the pain might be related to lumbosacral spondylarthrosis or a disc herniation at this level.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
