i suggest you call your pcp and tell them that you need a CT the meds should be working now if it were just about a uti a week is to long for the meds to not be working if you dont get any where with your pcp go back to the ER and demand they do a CT insurance has nothing to do with this you must have it done if they cant find out anyother way what is going on please do not sit down and let then run you around this is your health you are the one in pain and you have aright for someone to tell you what is going on not just then prescribing pills for something they really arent sure of good luck honey I will be praying for you

Just my two cents--I would push for the MRI as well. The images show more than a CT scan.

Hope you feel better soon!

First did they get a urine culture done if not get one then ask to see a urologist . if its truely an infection in your renal sysems he/or she well beable to better treat it and if not they will rule this out and your PCP or the er doctor will have to look else where. and If you think the pain your back is spine related see a neurologist or neurosurgeon. some times going to the specialist is the best and fastest fix and if they rule out the problem then its easier to move on . sorry to here your in so much pain good luck.

BAF Women... I need ur help

I need some help this morning because I am steaming mad

at this darn hospital people! Makes me hate going to the ER. I went to the ER 3 times.... 3 days in a row for lower back pain. I mean severe unbearable back pain where I was on the floor. The first time I went in they thought I had kidney stones so they did a CT scan. They didn't find anything but said I had a UTI. Okay so they gave me antibodies for the infection...but as soon as I got home the pain came back as if I was in labor!!!

I went back a second time and stil the same thing "nothing wrong with you, you just have an infection. That is where the back pain is coming from". Well excus the F out of me, I am the one having these pains and I know darn well it is not coming from no UTI!

I went in a 3rd time and stillt he same thing! I am suspecting a herniated disc. Can somebody please help me cuz I'm about to go nuts!!!!

They gave me Percocet which I have been taking back to back (more than what it says to take) then they give me Valium plus Cipro for the infection. I'm getting addicted to the Percocet but......

The first two meds only helps me relax and sleep but the pain is still tfreaking there. I know my body and I know the pain I am having. Some drs don't know it all!!!!

First off, good morning!

Ok, this is what happened to me not saying you have the issue but here is goes:

One day at work, my back starting hurting me really bad. I couldn't sit or stand without being in a lot of pain. It got so bad that I had to the E.R. While I was there, I got a CT and they did not find anything. I went to my PCP and told him what was going on and he sent me to get a MRI the very same day. They found a huge growth (the size of a soccer ball) on my right ovary that was pushing against a nerve which was causing my back pain. I ended up having to get a hysterectomy and that was that.

Again, I'm not saying you have the same issue but you may want to keep my situation in mind when you speak to your PCP.

I hope this helped somewhat.

"All of us experience change in our lives. Change is the one constant in our lives. There are changes that we look forward too and change that we fear. However, one thing is for sure. Things will not stay the same no matter how much we would like them too. When a life change occurs, we have two choices in how to respond. We can despair that a change has come and assume that things will be worse, or we can look with excitement at the new possibilities that the change presents. "
