About 1.5 weeks ago I started feeling hot and cold and feeling pressure to pee.
A couple of days after these initial symptoms I woke up with dragging pain in my lower abdomen, aches and pains all over my body and urgent need to pee. Pee was dark in colour and/ or cloudy. No blood at any point through this whole thing.
Called online GP who diagnosed UTI and prescribed Nitrofurantoin x 3 days. Took for 2.5 days but symptoms did not ease, got worse. No pain on peeing, more like pressure.
Visited my own GP and they prescribed Keflex (Cefalexin) 500mg twice daily. Sent urine to lab. Took Keflex for 4 days, symptoms had eased hugely after 2 days, but early on morning 5 woke again with symptoms returned, pain had spread outward and upward + numbness on left side, front and back.
Visited an out of hours doctor early Sunday morning, urine dip test was clear, but increased my Keflex 500mg to 3 daily, started this on Sunday. Monday 5am awoke with back pain and numbness down my left arm, tingling in my fingers. Went to see my own GP again and they did urine dip test, again clear. Labs had come back, clear. They told me to complete my Keflex x 3 daily (which finishes Wednesday) and gave me a letter for A&E if this doesn't work as they are at a loss.
Temp normal, no gastro symptoms, no rash, feel unwell all of the time, hot and cold, achy, tired (but in fairness sleep is poor for over a week now).
This morning pain is slightly reduced and peeing urgency reduced, back pain is gone, but tingling and numbness has increased, especially in left arm. Abdomen feels swollen to me.
GP has given me a letter for A&E as says she can't do anything more. Any thoughts or similar experiences?
