Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 60 yr. old female and am having severe bilateral pain in my mid - to lower back. cloudy urine, no blood, difficulty standing upright and difficulty breathing. Tramadol and muscle relaxant gave me no relief. I have had a couple bladder infections this last year I self treated with cranberry juice and alka seltzer. I recently (two months ago) quit smoking. I am on no medications and otherwise in excellent health.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It would be best to considering seeing your doctor for an assessment. Blood in the urine, may not be seen as blood in some cases but cause the urine to appear cloudy.
With a history of pain and previous infections, infection of the bladder or kidneys would need to be ruled out. It would be best to use antibiotics to completely clear the bacteria from your system.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Michelle Gibson James
