Hi Regina. Thanks for your query. I can understand the plight you must be going through. E coli infection can be just a small part of the major problem as you are rightly suspecting. Since you have undergone the full course for E coli, you yet have severe pain in the groin, low back and pain in abdomen.
I would advise you the following: investigations: Stool - routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity , urine and blood. Colonoscopy. CT scan of the abdomen.
The investigations will guide us for further treatment.
