I’m so new to all of this, I’m getting over my first really bad flare. My bladder seems to be doing a lot better but my lower back hurts on my right side. I’m worried it’s my kidneys. It’s considered flank pain. Has this ever happened to anyone? Should I still take my urisol prescription? Is it common for the kidneys to become inflamed during a flare? This is the worst.
This is my first really bad flare. I was so bloated last night and so much pressure. I could barely sleep. I feel like I keep having to pee today. Got checked and been negative for a uti but how do I help myself feel better? This is just really awful.
I had mild symptoms of a uti on Monday so I went to the lab and peed in a cup. Since Monday, my symptoms have been off and on. More off and if on, then very mild. But still something definitely wrong sometimes. I’ve been drinking a ton of water, taking d-mannose, cranberry pac’s & my pre/pro biotic. My lab results came back this morning less than 10,000 colony forming and not generally considered significant. What would you do? Wait it out or my urologist did give me a 3 day supply of bactrim to start if I felt like I needed it before the lab results came back. I still feel symptoms come and go like a little pressure, some “different” feeling when peeing sometimes. I hate for this to turn into a full blown infection but I’m just not sure whether to take the antibiotics or let it ride. Thank you for any advice.
