Will UTI Cause Leg And Muscle Pain?

Hello,

I have been diagnosed UTI from e. Coli but appart from typical symptoms (since this is far from my first UTI) I have severe leg (upper thigh) muscle ache which gives me pain while walking.
Could this be connected to UTI and does it mean that the infection is more severe than usual?

Thank you,
Sandra N.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, it is possible that the infection with E.coli has spread the toxin to the whole body.

It is the effect of this vaccine which is causing the muscle ache.

I advice you to do Culture and sensitivity done for this bacteria. It can cure the infection rightly and accurately.

Please take plenty of water. As it can help you flush the bacteria through urinary system.

Please maintain hygiene as it can help you recover earlier as well as future infection can also be prevented.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
