Uti but no burning or stinging

[Nic93]

Hi, I have had uti symptoms for the past 3 weeks, I got antibiotics from the doc and nothing changed so I got a second set of different antibiotics and still don't feel different.

I don't have any burning or stinging when peeing but peeing loads and in small amounts, I also have a achy lower back.

Did they actually send a sample to the lab?

They took a urine sample when they gave me the second set of antibiotics but I've heard nothing back.

I would be pushing for a referral to check your kidneys.

Phone for the results to make sure you have the correct antibiotics, if the symptoms are still continuing you probably need another chat with the Dr / prescribing nurse anyway.

They sent my urine to a lab and it came back clear, I'm so confused because I'm still having frequent urination and now have a ache in my lower back.

So they have gave me laxitves as they think I'm blocked up and that's putting pressure on my bladder and causing frequent urination 😳

Sounds bizarre I know but do you use sweeters at all? I had the same symptoms and after many courses of antibiotics and a clear urology was still having symptoms. I read sweetners can irritate the bladder. I stopped having them in my tea and my symptoms disappeared within a day or so.

Aching in lower back sounds like kidneys to me (I was in hospital last year for four days after what started as a UTI, but ended up as a bad kidney infection). I would try and contact your doctor again and really stress the back pain!

I don't use sweeteners at all, I'm so confused it's been like this for 3 weeks now 😩
I might call back again tomorrow because I gave them a urine sample after my first set of antibiotics, it was when I called saying they didn't work they gave me a second set of antibiotics and asked for a urine sample.

Also the aching doesn't stop I feel like today has been the worst and its really low.

@Healthquestion101 what was your symptoms?
I have frequent urination small dribbles and normal. Also pressure in lower back but now feels like constant pain oin my lower back 😔

I've had this, doctor misdiagnosed gave me wrong medication. Go back to your doctor, they can make mistakes.

I had absolute symptoms of a uti. Burning feeling and like you constant wanting to wee! Def go back.... something is irritating your bladder.

If it's not a UTI it could be something called
interstitial cystitis.

Could it be a kidney or bladder stone? Worth asking for a scan maybe. Did they dip test your urine for blood?

Yeah, I didn't and still don't have any burning or sensation when urinating 😕
