I recently got very sick. At first I felt like I had a bladder infection, because it was uncomfortable to urinate. An hour later, I noticed blood clots in my urine and the discomfort continue to worsen. Within 2 hours my urine went from being normal color to solid red and I was in excruciating pain during urination. The doctor put me on antibiotics and sent the sample for a culture/sensitivity test. It tested positive for ecoli. I am wondering if even though I am feeling much better, do I need to seek follow up care to ensure there isn't damage to my kidney, etc.
