Can anyone help? I'm going to call the docs back in the morning. I was diagnosed with a UTI on Monday after they dipped my sample. I had no burning symptoms at all but I started Friday with feeling sick and stomach ache which kept coming in waves and made me feel rubbish. I felt like I'd got the flu a bit tbh. Back was also painful. I was prescribed a 3 day course and took two a day as advised. I finished the course last night. Whilst I've been better and back at work this evening I've noticed my stomach is still really sore and achey. I'm not due on for another 7 days. Would you say it's nornal?

Sometimes the course isn't long enough to kill the infection, or you've got a secondary infection that needs a different sort of antibiotic. Both have happened to me with UTIs. You have to go back to the gp so they send another urine sample to the lab.

Hope it gets better soon

With me it's usually
Everything is inflamed still and needs to settle and I'm hyper sensitive to how it feels
Or the course hasn't worked
I get a min of 5 days now as 3 days never works for me
