What Causes Severe Back Pain When Diagnosed With Leukocytes And While On Methenimine?
I am 68 year old female with a history of frequent UTI. I m currently on Methenamine 1 gram bid. 8 months ago I was hospitalized for a moderately severe kidney infection for which I had no symptoms other than back pain and chills. The Methenimine was started after antibiotics were given. I am currently experiencing day one of flank pain and what feels like muscle spasms in the same region. I did a dip stick urine test which was very positive for leukocytes and negative for nitrites. Any suggestions?
