Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

You have UTI since long time....
So antibiotic given according to culture ....

But you have edema also with back pain ..
Measure your blood pressure also ...
Here it could be associated nephritis syndrome or glomerulonephritis .....
For that USG done and urine for protein also examined....

If suspicious of it for further subclassification renal biopsy needed .....
For that steroid given for treatment ....

I would suggest you to consult nephrologists for detail examination and accordingly investigation....

Take care. ...
