<human>: 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?
<bot>: 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 painkillers I will advise 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.
