I am taking antibiotics for a uti but having major lower back pain is this normal?

Tell your MD: Simple UTI may have during on urination but severe back pain could be multiple things from simple back sprain but more worrisome the potential for the infection to have spread up to the kidney. that is a more severe infection than a simple UTI thuswould speak to your doctor today if unavailable go to the ER to make sure.

See doctor asap: It is possible your urinary tract infection has made its way up to your kidneys, something we call pyelonephritis. When we diagnose a UTI we prescribe antibiotics most likely to help. Sometimes that doesn't happen and the antibiotics need to be changed. In either case, you should see a doctor as soon as possible, especially if you feel your symptoms have worsened despite being on antibiotics.
