3. Back Pain
Another distinctive urinary tract infection symptom is a pain in the lower back which will feel like muscle aches. Due to the pain, most patients will turn to over-the-counter medications to get relief. However, in the case of UTI, these medications may not be able to provide relief to the patient.
If the pain is felt in the flank region, it can be a sign that the infection has already spread into the kidney. In this case, prescription medications for infection may help to ease these symptoms. Drinking enough fluids and getting plenty of rest can help to relieve the pain and minimize the feeling of discomfort.
