Back Pain, Blood In Urine. Chances Of Pulled Muscle?

I have right side and back pain with blood in my urine, the pain has been off and on for months.I went to my physician 3 times about 2 and a half months ago complaining of this and she said it was pulled muscle which I know it is not. I then went to urgent care aand they said possible torn cartledge, did an x ray of my rib area and said there was nothing. I kept telling them its below my rib area not in my ribs.I am getting crazy with worry and pain. I do not have health insurance so I do not know what to do.

Welcome to health care magic! The site of your pain and the presence of blood in urine might be an indicator of a a pathology in the kidneys/ureters - Stone/ infection, inflammation, etc. You need to get yourself thoroughly examined and evaluated with a complete urine examination, ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis to confirm the renal pathology and institute appropriate treatment. Take care! Get well soon!!
