Help! Could I have hurt myself by holding wee?!

[noitsachicken]

So earlier I took my kids to the park, we all had a wee before we left.
When we arrived I though I could do with another wee, but couldn’t do anything about it, and I also had a coffee with me (I realise this wasn’t the best idea)
My need for a wee became more urgent but I held on as there wasn’t a loo and nowhere else to wee, after about an hour I was in quite a bit of pain from what I assume was my bladder (mid, low tummy area) I managed to round up the kids and get home and was then able to go to the toilet, it was a little uncomfortable but no real pain.
Since then I have had persistent left side back pain (kidney I assume) and on and off bladder pain, plus after about an hour a sudden urge for another wee with bladder pain.
Could I have done myself some damage by holding the wee?!
No other symptoms other than the pain, and I am home alone with three under six.

Any ideas?!

Thanks

Sounds maybe a bit like a UTI. I get them if I don’t drink enough/wee regularly. I’d probably drink a pint of water quickly then try and drink more today to flush things through. But you should go to the GP if it doesn’t clear up or gets worse.

Sounds more like you've got a UTI that first showed itself as pain when you needed a wee, rather than the other way around. Hie thee to your GP!
