i went to the er with terrible back pain (i suffer with problems with my sciatica) and pain in my groin area felt like shooting pain. Drs. did a dipstick urinalysis and foud my urine was cloudy, small amounts of blood,4.0 urobiligen, specific gravity of 1.013,ph of 6, negative for glucose,bilirubin,ketones,protein and nitrates. wbc 5-9,rbc 1-4,trace of esterase and many bacteria. they think its a uti so they started me on ceftinir but now im having terrible headaches, i have been taking medicine every four hours but it keeps coming back could this be a symptom of my uti
It's not UTI. Small traces of RBC in urine is indicative of small lesion, may be stone, wound etc. Lot of water intake is red as a first step. Sciatica should be settled with management of intervertebral spaces by lumbar belt support, traction or surgery (the least recommended by me) and compressed nerves should be released. Yoga postures, deep breathing is also helpful. Cleaning bowels regularly is red.Painkillers are not the treatment. It has increased pitta humor causing headache. In my opinion IVD management, herbal combos to combat vitiation of Pitta humor are red. Lot of water intake necessary. Hope it helps you.
