I began having flank pain on the left side
about 3 weeks ago had dipstick and
negative then culture saying had uti. Took
cipro, made me horribly sick, stopped and
the pain came back with a vengance on both
sides and in the rib area also burning
pain in my back. I feel awful. I was put
on macrobid but its taking forever to work
and ended up at the urgent care center.
They took more tests but dont know the
results yet. I am having pains in back,
constipated, not as much urination now,
and now my groin nodes have swollen and
they hurt so much. I'll add I never had
burning upon urination. Does this sound
like kidney infection or something else.
Also has anyone been on Macrobid for
Kidney infection and how long did it take
to work????
Any help greatly appreciated..

Yeah, sounds like a kidney infection to
me. I've been on antibiotics but only ever
the three day kind, and it cleared up
pretty quickly. You did a urine test,
right?
That pain sounds like kidney pain (you'll
feel it in your back) and can make you
pretty sick. Hope it clears up quickly for
you!
