Hi all,

Last Tuesday (9 days ago) I had back ache. I put it down to usual aches and pains I get and because I was sitting. Began to feel like my kidneys were burning so I ordered urine dipsticks. Wednesday felt like they were burning when I sat down. Thursday onwards its been fine really other than a bit of low back pain (but I am due on). Thursday onwards... So the last 7 days the dipstick has shown blood every time (trace or the one above), protein sporadically and then on Monday it was showing leukocytes. I have been prescribed antibiotics for suspected uti. Just taken my last antibiotic and it's again blood, protein and leukocytes. I am drinking plenty. Any recommendations?
