    Does A Uti Cause kidney pain?
    I had a UTI about a week ago, it was very painful to urinate and I was going like every 10 minutes to the bathroom, all the burning and pain is gone, but now a week later I have kidney pain on my left side... well I also had it when I was told I had the UTI except it was on both sides all over my back it was BAD, now its just on one side... Could this be more than a UTI, more like a Kidney infection?. I am going in tomorrow for another urine test.

    A kidney infection is a UTI. We have lower UTIs (bladder) and upper UTIs (kidneys). Were you put on antibiotics?

    The kidney pain has stopped. If the infection is still there would the pain still be there? Or it could be asymptomatic? I had the urine culture done on Wednesday and they have not called me, they usually call if something comes back abnormal.

    Did they tell you how long until you should expect the results? I'd call just to confirm. Definitely better to know than to take a risk with your health
