I started having symptoms of a UTI 2 weeks ago(on Friday of course). I started having kidney flank pain on Saturday evening so I sent a message to my doctor. I didn’t receive a response on Monday so I called and let them know of the urgency of the situation. Had to go in for a urinalysis and then was prescribed a 5 day dose of macrobid.

Finished that script on Saturday, 1/30 and it seemed like everything was better.

Thursday night I started to suspect it was back. Sent a message to the doctor on Friday morning at 6:49AM. Didn’t get a response so around 9:30AM I call about the message and again advised that I was having UTI symptoms. No flank pain at that point.

Get a call around 11:30AM requesting ANOTHER urinalysis. That was super frustrating as the clinic closed at 12 and there was no way I would make it to the lab and get results before they closed. I JUST had a UTI, just prescribe me something!!!

Here we are Saturday, 2/6 and I’m back in the same boat. UTI symptoms, pretty severe flank pain, and Tylenol isn’t touching it. When I asked the nurse what to do over the weekend she just said “go to urgent care.” WHY.......I reached out for help with I feel enough time for my doc to prescribe something. But here I am feeling pretty crummy and feeling like the nurse completely disregarded my concerns.

I have a history of UTI....I know what this is. I know what these symptoms are an indication of. And now spreading to at least one of my kidneys is concerning...

Sorry for the rant, just feeling frustrated.
