Dear- thanks for using our system, I read your question with care and will try to help you with my advise. First of all, you need a complete evaluation of your urinary track, including a renal ultrasound ,urine analysis and urine culture to find out if you have a resistant bacteria ,kidney stone or cyst that makes you more prone to infection.Joint pains could be fibromyalgia and you should see a rheumatologist for further treatment.The back pain is most likely from recurrent urinary infection but other possibilities as herniated disc or spinal stenosis should be considered. The swollen joint could be an isolated finding vs an acute tendinitis.I hope that my advise has been helpful.
