Need Help!!! Please

[whodatgirl]

I am new here and I have had several test performed lately. My symptoms are severe pain lower back ( around kidneys), weight loss, fever, no energy. My urine output is not good and it is dark. My Dr. called this morning and said he was referring me to a urologist. My rbc count is low, urine shows bacteria. I have been on Bactrim DS, Levaquin and pyridium plus. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on?

I forgot to mention that severe fatique was one of the main symptoms.  I hope you get to feeling better.

You could be having a reaction to the drugs you are taking.  You need to research side effect of the meds you are taking.  I recently found out that I am allergic to Sulfa drugs (Bactrim DS is one of them) while being treated for a UTI.  One of my many side effects early on was severe lower back pain, flu-like symtoms that included sweats, achiness, joint pain, abdominal pain, rash on legs and a ton of other symptoms..  I only took it for 3 1/2 days, but paid for it for 5 wks after taking it.  In my opinion it is a horrible drug.  I could barely get out of bed during those 5wks the joint pain was so horrible.  A website you could look at is http://briandeer.com/septrin/bactrim-pdr.htm

It sounds like a kidney problem or urinary tract infection.  See what the urologist says.  You could also see a nephrologist, a kidney specialist.
