Hello
Thanks for query.
Back cramps with high coloured urine is likely to be due to UTI.
Get following basic tests done to confirm diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and urine culture
2) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen to rule out any urinary stone.
In the meanwhile start taking broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefixime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate
antibiotics as per culture report.
Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.
Ensure to drink more water.To keep your urine dilute This will help to control dysuria.
