hi my name is emma i have been suffering from side back pain for 10 days, last week i was feeling sick tried shivery and i was feelin weak and couldnt stand for long i went to the docter where she did a urine test, she said it was high in protien and she asked if i was on my peroid so im guessing there was blood traced in the urine. in the end she told me it was back strain, the thing is i didnt do any thing to pull or strain my back i woke up in the night with this pain im just want to know if she was right or could it be an infection of some sort? thanks
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Based on your description, I suspect the possibility of Urinary tract infection (UTI) in you which produces typical symptoms. An Ultrasound abdomen is needed to rule out any issues in your kidney on the affected side. I suggest you to meet a general surgeon or urologist for further workup and management. Hope this information is helpful. Good day
