Developed Large Hematoma After Kidney Hemorrhage After Lithotripsy. Took Cipro After Tested Positive For E.coli. What Is Causing Pain?
I had lithotripsy for kidney stones in July. As a direct result my kidney hemorrhaged, I was admitted to the hospital on bed rest, md given 2 units of blood. I developed a large hematoma. A few weeks ago I started having left flank pain again. I went to the urologist, had a Cat scan which was negative for stones. Imy urine was positive for E. coli and I was started on Cipro. My PCP felt it might be muscle spasms causing the pain and put me on Metaxalone 800mg. Three times a day. The pain had not abated. What else could be causing this pain? Could there be some complication from the hematoma causing the pain?

Hello there!
History of renal infection with interventions and stones and hematomas made these troubles like now very common and they need care. symptomatic treatment and good hygiene to prevent recurrences. take cranbery juices 10 to 12 ounces a day, use ciprofloxacin, take anti spasmodics like phloroglucinols etc, metaxalon is skeletal mus le relaxant you need autonomous relaxation of smooth muscles. Toilet habits with constant in touch with your urologist and you will be out of the woods
