UTI/ kidney infection!?!

8 Replies

I've been ill for about 4 weeks now. Initially I thought I was having an episode of pancreatitis as I do suffer with this. Had to go up the hospital for blood test & urine sample, they told me I had blood & protein in my urine and suspected a kidney infection. I was given Coamoxiclav 500mg and told to go back if it still hadnt cleared in a couple of days. So couple of days passed and I had a terrible night of shivers, increased heart rate, pain in what I thought was my appendix so I went back. Had CT scan, bloods and tested my urine again..all clear apparently. Finished my antibiotics and guess what still had pain. I then went to my GP who sent my urine off to be cultured, came back I had bacteria in my urine and they then gave me Nitrofurantoin 100mg twice a day. I'm 3 days in and still feel crap. Pain in my right side, incredible stomache bloating, lower abdominal pain and a gurgling stomache which has been consistent for the 4 weeks might I add. Can anyone help or shed any light as I dont ideally want to be admitted into hospital at this current time but what else is gonna help me!?!

Not sure any one can help you here - unknown health issues, lung related (not really), drug related (possibly) other health issue (likely) check with your doctor again if your symptoms persist.
