Hi there, I have a uti and am on my second coarse of antibiotics which seems to be relieving the pain in my urethra but I a still uncomfortable and my back is still very very sore. I have been using diclofenac, paracode & tramadol for pain relief and I know that these could be doing more harm but it has been the only thing that would alleviate my pain and discomfort. What would you recommend for pain relief?
hi,thank-you for providing the brief history of you.UTI occurs due to weakness of the pelvic floor muscles. Also you are  on antibiotics and pain killers I will advice you to undergo physical therapy for back pain .Treatment:Physical therapy includes - therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and muscle Strengthening exercises.In my clinical practice such cases respond well to physical therapy.Regards Jay Indravadan Patel
