hi i wonder if anyone can help? i have had pain around my left hand side for about 5 days now and around my right oddly enough. it's stopped me feel totally comfortable today. i had a urinary infection last week and felt desperately off colour. the pain had stopped. i was put on trimethoprim for the infection, i am now wondering whether it is because i have taken antibiotics that i am left with this pain. is this coincidental or am i barking up the wrong tree?
