Dr. Peter Liehranswered
Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology
UTI lower back pain: Lower back and pelvic pain is completely possible due to urinary tract infections. Your kidneys are located in the lower back region. The ureters drain the urine down to the bladder that sits in the lower pelvis. Severe infections of any of these organs will cause pain along that pathway.

Potassium yes: It is very common to experience muscular problems with low potassium but not all causes of cramps, muscle pain or strain are due to low potassium. Low sodium is less likely to be associated to muscle pain and strain.

No: No, it is non-specific. Chest pain from gi, gastrointestinal, conditions is also relieved with nitroglycerine at times. For example, esophageal spasm. If you are experiencing this pain, you must seek medical attention to evaluate your situation.

Talk to gyne: Are all periods similar? Recent unprotected sex? Prior std? Fever? Any other medical issues? Too many unknowns. See a doctor.
