Seraphim Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I have never had a uti before. I am peeing every half hour and have pain in my back. I have to wait until tomorrow to go to a walk in. Link to comment
martha2013 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Try using AZO from your local pharmacy. It helps with urine pain and relieves the pressure. Link to comment
melancholy123 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Cranberry juice can help. Link to comment
indea08 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 -burning sensation before/during/after peeing (for me, it never really goes away) -cloudy pee that smells weird -constantly uncomfortable -frequent urination Martha was correct, AZO helps TREMENDOUSLY with the pain. However, if you're going to go to a doctor tomorrow, try not to take it. They can't do a urine culture if you've taken it (it turns your pee bright orange). Link to comment
Seraphim Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 I am not in horrible pain. Just annoying really. No burning no foul pee. Just peeing constantly for 3 days and the pain in my back. Link to comment
indea08 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Honestly, it sounds more like a kidney infection then..definitely a good idea to see a doc! Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Do kidney stones run in the family?I am not in horrible pain. Just annoying really. No burning no foul pee. Just peeing constantly for 3 days and the pain in my back. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Do kidney stones run in the family? Not that I know of. I think with kidney stones it would hurt more than when I'm hurting . My husband had kidney stones and that was pretty wicked . Link to comment
indea08 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Depends how big they are, where there are (kidneys, ureters, etc)....lower back pain typically is associated with kidneys. They'll prob start with a UA to rule out a UTI, if that's clean and pain persists then they may do an ultrasound of your kidneys. Let's hope for a simple UTI! Link to comment
Seraphim Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 For sure! Anything simple works for me! Link to comment
annie24 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Can you go in sooner than in the morning? That doesn't sound good if there is back pain. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Can you go in sooner than in the morning? That doesn't sound good if there is back pain. The only place I could go is the hospital. Link to comment
annie24 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I'd go tonight. If it's been a few days and you have lower back pain, it might have spread to your kidneys. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 It is weird because I don't have a fever or feel sick other than what I said. Link to comment
annie24 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Ok, in that case, go to the walk in. Make sure they get a urine culture. I don't know if you have a doctor on call you can call, but I've had docs give me antibiotic prescriptions over the phone and then I've gone to a 24 hour pharmacy to pick it up. Link to comment

I don't know if you have a doctor on call you can call, but I've had docs give me antibiotic prescriptions over the phone and then I've gone to a 24 hour pharmacy to pick it up. Because of our severe doctor shortage I live 3 hours from my dr. So I rely on walk-ins and the hospital . Link to comment
annie24 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I live in the US so obviously the system is different here. I called a 24-hour nurses hotline offered by my insurance company. I was sick, but not quite sick enough to go to the ER but needed meds right away. They forwarded my call to a doctor, we talked on the phone, I gave him my symptoms, and he sent in a script to my local 24 hour drug store. I was really thankful for that and that I didn't need to do an ER visit. In the meantime, stay hydrated, drink lots of water. Take a shower, I'd sleep without underwear tonight. If you don't wear cotton underwear, I'd switch to that, natural fabrics. You have some other health issues going on right now? Link to comment
Seraphim Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 The only issue I have is my Trigeminal Neuralgia. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thank you everyone for your help. I drank 4 glasses of water and will go to bed. Link to comment
IAmFCA Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Cranberry in highly concentrated doses works extraordinarily well - plus impossible amounts of water as you already are managing. Keep it up after the symptoms stop for a day or so. The product I like is organic cranberry concentrate 12:1 plus vitamin c. Link to comment
sophie274 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Actually, very little evidence that cranberry in any dose works : Link to comment
Lisii Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Good luck (I haven't anything to add - I think everyone has covered everything - I have a girl friend who swore by the cranberry juice/tablets, she is prone to kidney infections)... I hope you feel better soon. Whether its UTI or Kidney's ... yuk ((hugs)) Link to comment
Seraphim Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 Wow, I just thought about it. My medications are very hard on the kidneys. I have an up coming appointment with my specialist anyway. Link to comment
IAmFCA Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Eek. UTI often leads to kidney infection if not originating there. How soon is your app't? If you remain symptomatic, I'd make it priority #1. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 I mean it makes it difficult on kidney function. Next Wed. I am drinking truck loads of what to keep flushing my kidneys. I am going to ask for tests on kidney and liver function. Link to comment
