Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
If he had a recent episode of UTI, then the acute back pain should not be taken lightly. It raises the concern of possible infection spreading to kidneys(Pyelonephritis) which require intravenous antibiotic therapy.
Please be advised to follow up with the emergency room/urgent care as soon as possible.
