I am a 27 year old woman. Last Thursday I started to feel a strange stabbing feeling in my back on my right side whenever I took a deep breath. Shortly after it also started on my lelft side. I work do liquor promotions so I had a drink a few minutes before. Later that night I just felt ill and the pain was still there. The next day I still felt a bit under the weather with abdomianl pain that was pretty wide spread and the flank pain I was experiencing the night before. By Saturday I was feeling a bit better and ended up having a beer with some friends. About an hour latter I felt abdominal pain again, hot, and dizzy. I woke up the next morning (Sunday) and went to the after hours clinic. They took a urine sample and said they think it's the beginging of a urinary tract infection and put me on some sulfa antibiotics. Since then I still have the occasional back pain and the the abdominal pain is always under the right and left rib cage. Those pains have not improved since i have started the antibiotics and I am now on day 4. I have also experienced sharp pelvic pain the past few days just above my pubic bone. Oh ya, and heartburn. I don't know how I forgot to mention that one. Does anyone have any insight on what is going on??? Can a UTI make me have pain this widespread and not to mention that I am fatigued really bad! Help someone!!!! It's almost been a week of me feeling like this.
