    Medications making my back pain worse
    My doctor gave me carisoprodol to take as pain medicine but after taking the first pill my back started hurting real bad, I went online and read this was not to be taken if you had a history of kidney problems. The first time I saw this doctor I told him clearly I had a kidney infection and he still gave them to me what can I do?

    Why did you go to a new doctor for pain and not go to the doctor treating you for a kidney infection? Clearly you stop taking the medication and call the kidney doctor.

    I never had a doctor I went into the ER and after a urine test they told me I had a kidney infection, so it was treated, but I recently had an accident at work where I was told I had a muscle spasm, so this new doctor gave me muscle relaxers but it made it worse, the problem is I have no insurance that is why I don't go to a regular doctor

    Too many questions - kidney or urinary tract? When? What was the drug for your back? Made what worse, the muscle spasm or the kidney pain?

    At the ER I was told I had a Kidney infection, like three months ago, and I was given medication to treat it. The medication I was given at the ER was to treat the kidney infection. Now a month ago I was injured at work, and was given muscle relaxers called carisoprodol, I took one pill and my back hurted real bad, so I went online and read about it, that is where I saw this was not to be taken if you've had kidney problems. My question now is what can I do about this doctor who gave me a medication that has messed up my back even more, he knew I had kidney problems and still gave me this to take.

    You can sue the doctor in civil court. You can contact your state licensing board (probably can find it online under 'yourstate.gov.') You can find a new doctor and tell him or her you still hurt. Your first priority is your health. The wheels of justice grind slowly, and you may not be awarded any damages without an expensive lawyer.
