Can E-coli Detection In Urine Cause Pain In Upper Leg?

hello, i had been suffering from upper leg pain starting from groin to deep thighs for some time(5 months) in both my legs. i had done a blood test and urine test. Blood test remained all good, however urine culture found moderate level of e-coli in my urine. Is the pain in my leg and e-coli in urine interconnected.

The chances of them being intereconnected are less likely.
First of all to answer best this quistion I need information fo your age & sex.
The yield of e coli in urine culture is considered normal as it is one of the commensel harboring the outflow tract. What is more important is the colony forming units (CFU ) that might have written in the reports. Again for male & female they have differnt ranges so presently cannot be commented.
you can selfexamine yourself , if it shows any kind of swelling ( Lumps ) in groin then the there can be a possibility of the pain & e coli.
But as of now the two things can not be co-related. Occurance of E coli can be considered normal finding. For the said pain you may take help of the anti-inflamatory drugs whcih may relife you.

If at all you have the symptoms such as fever, swelling in groin along with abve symptoms better to get examined by nearest physician.
