Hi, Thanks for writing in. Urinary infection might vary from mild to severe. There are times when there is referred pain from a bladder and urinary infection to the lower limb. This happens due to stimulation of the nerves in the leg which transmit impulses due to urinary infection. The brain perceives it as originating from the leg and therefore the symptoms. It will also be important to know if you have a past history of nerves pinching in your lower back region. Such a condition might go unnoticed until you get investigated. Please discuss your detailed symptoms with the doctor and if required then get additional investigations done for your lower back to know if you have nerve related pain. Please do not worry.
