Need more info

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

It is true that Urinary tract infection mimics lower back pain, however to come to a better conclusion I need more info from you

1. Do you have fever?
2. Do you have burning while passing urine?
3. Is it a dull aching pain or a pricking pain?
4. Does the pain increase when you bend and turn?
5. has the stream of your urine come down lately?

Please get back to me, I am awaiting your reply

Brief Answer:
Muscle ache not urinary tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for getting back

From the history you have given me it looks like you have muscle ache rather than urinary tract infection.
Here is what your should do

1. Do not lift heavy weights until you are better
2. Apply local pain killer gel like diclofenac gel over the area that is paining
3. Tab paracetamol 500mg twice a day is good for the pain
4. If the pain persists I would like you to get a x ray for the lower spine to rule out bone involvement

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
