I'm an 18 year old female. I've been having lower back pain in my left side for about 2 weeks now. I went to the doctors 1 week ago and she gave me stuff for cystitis after checking my urine (I've had cystitis before and I'm pretty sure this wasn't it!). After taking the antibiotics, I still felt so unwell. I'm exhausted, weak, moody and in pain. And my back is just really painful. I then went to emergency care last Saturday because it was just too hard to sleep with the pain. All she said was the urine infections gone' (after checking my urine) and rushed me out saying to take pain killers... Helpful. I realised when someone pokes me on either side of my lower back, the left side seems agony in comparison to the right side. I also realised as soon as I have alcohol my back hurts even more. I'm so confused and have partly given up on doctors who aren't very interested! Anyone got any ideas or advice?! X
