Can UTI cause side and back pain. I don’t have any other symptoms other than that so I’m like is it a uti? I’m going to the drs tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone experienced that.

Yes! Your kidneys (filter blood & urine) are in the back and therefore there can be lower back pain with a UTI if it has reached the kidneys.

yeah at first it was just back pain but now I’m feeling it more on my side of stomach so I was like I wonder what it is but it’s on the same side and it radiates from side to back but I have no urinary symptoms at all 😭

Maybe kidney stones? 😩

If it was a UTI it should burn peeing at some point

i’ve been feeling this too and when i brought it up it was dismissed. i noticed the pain is stronger around my period, let me know how it goes

Yes, untreated UTI can turn into a kidney infection which would cause pain like you’re describing. Happened to me years ago. Not fun!

went to the doctor and they did a urine test and no signs of bacteria or UTI. Is that how they caught yours?

Yes it can and also kidney infections can cause that too
