Is There Any Correlation Between UTI And Lower Back Pain?

hi, i had the symptoms of a urinary tract infection (painful peeing, cloudy pee, and a more frequent urge to pee) for a few days. however, they have now stopped affecting me. instead, i have a slight lower back pain. could it be possible that the uti was so mild that it went away on its own and that the lower back pain is merely incidental?

Thank you for your question.

UTI is no way related to back pain. It may be incidental. Try NSAIDs (ibuprofen) for your back pain for 5 days along with pantoprazole tablets.

If pain persists, meet your physician for examination and blood tests to know the cause of your back pain.
