I got diagnoised with a UTI two weeks ago.. I have had a sore back for over a year and I think I have had a UTI all this time.. I am on Cipro 500mg.. I just ran out and they ordered more.. I have pain going into both of my legs and ouch moving pains on both sides of my back?? When should I go to ER? What are warning signs and what could be causing all this...
Dear patient Back pain with UTI may be due to pelvic inflammatory disease which is inflammation of pelvic organs. But since u out have pain going into both legs' possibility of disc prolapse or canal stenosis is more likely and seems a different condition from UTI.  Are there any difficulties in walking or tingling and numbness in both the legs? If yes then it also points towards canal stenosis.  You need to be investigated with MRI of lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine as it gives detail information of discs, nerves and even bone. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Visit spine surgeon with report.  Meanwhile, start tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for pain relief plus tab vita B12 plus pregabalin 75\u00a0mg at bedtime for 10 days.  Also get examined and search for the cause of recurrent UTI.
