Does A UTI Suffering Patient Have Appendicitis?
Hello I was diagnosed with a UTI on Sunday night and given Bactrim. My conditioned worsened so the Dr. Put me on Cipro. I had 102 fever with lower back and side pain. After 2 doses of Cipro the fever went down and the back pain subsided. My stomach is bubbly and distended, the side pain has returned but no more back pain. The need to urinate and burning has gone away. I am also constipated. Should I be concerned of appendicitis? Would the urine test have picked this up?

Hi and welcome to HCM,
You should not be concerned of appendicitis. UTI suffering patient's doesn't have appendicitis. Appendix is not located in urinary tract, to get inflammation. Do you have abdominal pain in the region of umbilicus associated with nausea or vomiting, anorexia. Nothing to worry, if necessary please take ultrasound of abdomen to rule out appendicitis.
Wish you speedy recovery
Thanks
