Suffering From Pain In The Lower Back To Mid Back Area

I am a 47 year old female. Been dealing with a recent uti. Took bactrum for 7 days, symptoms still persisted. On 2nd round of bactrum on 5th day. My uti symptoms are pretty much resolved but I have had back pain for 5 days, started with lower back. Now the pain is on my left middle back area, pain scale about 4/10, ibuprofen does not help.

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

There are two possible causes that may have caused the symptoms.
One is the possibility that the infection has probably co involved your genitourinary tract and the infection of this tract is causing you backache, as many gyncological conditions do.

The other possibility is that the infection has spread up into the urinary tract to affect the higher urinary centres.

I would suggest a culture of the urine so that an accurate antibiotic can be eventually prescribed, and an MRI/USG to look up the local source of pain.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
