Clues!: "stomach cramps & lower back pain" not common pattern of symptoms in young person. Urinary tract infection a wild speculation. Patients must tell doctors: how long, constant or come & go, characteristics of pain (sharp, aching, burning, etc.), sex & age of patient, any injury, fever, radiation from one body part to another, what activity worsens. Doctors used to guessing, but we need clues folks!
