Is Severe Stomach Ache A Symptom Of Urinary Infection?

I think I have a urine infection , I have been very uncomfortable sinse last Monday, I have a pain in my left side which I have been getting for many years off and on, I have had various things done to look at this a scope and and internal scan nothing was ever found. I associated this with periods and as I am now 59 don t have them since a few years, however the pain seems to have returned in the last few months. My proble just now is I think a urine infection, I have taken 3 packets of cystisis relief but this has not helped, I have handed a sample into my surgery on Thursday but no results yet so they ate not keen to subscribe antibiotics. I have to get up every 2 hours during the night , am drinking loads of water, cut outthe coffee canyou suggest anything else?
