Have urine checked: The home dipstick test can be useful for screening purposes, but a true urinalysis and culture is now warranted in your case. The wbcs are indicative of inflammation, tissue damage (kidney stones?), or a urinary tract infection (uti). Bacteria are sometimes missed by dipstick. Get your urine checked by your doctor now. Hope you feel better.
