Lower Back Pain, Abdominal Pain, Possible Kidney Infection, Dizziness. On Nitrofantoin. What Is Going On?

I have low back pain and can't seem to go all day at work and I get tired early evening. This is new lately I thought I was getting a kidney infection but doctor said no did an exam he found nothing. Tonight was fine back pain started around 7pm after eating and got tired pretty fast too. Also stomach pains and feels like some bloating.. I thought it could be cystitis cause I get the urgency to urinate. I did get a little dizzy kinda not feeling right tonight. Doctor had me on nitrofantoin when that flares up but he saw nothing even when he checked my urine. I feel like I am hungry but I ate already. Not to mention being bloated feeling in upper stomach I would not eat if I wanted too. Help!

Hello,
Welcome at HCM.

I have read complete details of your question.It looks that you are having back pain & urgency of urination with bloating sensation in stomach.This problem can be there due to following reasons-

-Diabetes

-Overactive bladder

-Infection of urinary tract

-Gastritis

-Cholecystitis or inflammation of gall bladder.

At present you should go to your general medicine doctor & should have a complete investigation including blood sugar,ultrasonography abdomen & a x ray of lower back.

You may have relief by following-

-Take a good analgesic like paracetamol,three times a day.This is available OTC.

-Take an antacid preparation like pantaprazole 40 mg on prescription of your doctor.

-Do warm fomentation over your back.

-Do rest.

-Avoid spicy & oily food items.

-Take crane berry juice.

Your final treatment will be based on your reports.

Stress should be given on blood sugar report.

Hope this will help you.

With best wishes.
