Avatar f tn s but will help in the bladder and if it is bladder infections leading to kidney infections it may help. The juice isn't that great. It is high in sugar, and not nearly as strong as the pills. Cranberry makes the bladder slippery so the infections can't stick to the walls of the bladder. Another tasty option is real dried unsweetened (or sweetened with applejuice cranberries. They are found at health food stores and cost a fortune but they are so gooooood. Craisins are just candy.
Avatar f tn s what happened to me after a long time on antibiotics and accidentally taking too much Florastor for several weeks. The packaging and advertising for Florastor does not highlight this possibility, but it's becoming better known as more people take it. The general attitude among MDs is that probiotics are harmless, but in certain circumstances, they can cause serious problems. Don't freak out over this, but consider it and keep it in the back of your mind, okay?
Avatar n tn I was recently diagnosed with a kidney infection, my right flank pain is still present and I still have spouts of feeling ill after taking 3 doses of my perscribed Anti-biotic (ciprofloxacin). My doctor told me that I should feel better within 24 hours so I was wondering if this is normal or if it is something I should be conserned about. How long after taking medication will my pain go away?
1084115 tn?1385228589 the test came back positive and the doc (gastr doc)told me to take ciprofloxacin 500 twice daily for 10 days. i told him that im not sure i want to take this as i know its hard on the liver, he said i can take it as he asked back my hepatologist (they both work in the same hospital/transplant center).
1442701 tn?1286383987 I thought that maybe I had pulled a muscle in my back even though I didn't even throw the ball that many to times since my lower left side of my back had been hurting. Felt like labor pains Monday night it hurt so bad. On Cipro now. I just wondered if anyone else has unexpected kidney infections too.
Avatar f tn After 10 days of an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) I felt better but the bleeding started again. Am now back on 10 more days of same antibiotic but this time am having lower pelvic pain amd discomfort. Could this be something other than a UTI? Urine culture showed a bacterial infection. Is it common for this to take 1 or 2 courses of antibiotics to clear up?
Avatar m tn I am have used it for uti or bladder infections.

Avatar n tn I've been taking Ciprofloxacin for about a week. On tuesday I went to the gym for the first time in a while, and for the past few days my shoulder muscles have been sore. I saw on the instructions with my medicine that there's a risk of tendonitis while taking Ciprofloxacin, is this something I should be worried about? I wouldn't have exercised that much if I had known. The soreness has been getting steadily better.
2176548 tn?1340677817 So, I was just put on Ciprofloxacin. Anyone been on it before?? My kidney infection has not gone away yet! Now, I have to go for an ultrasound! They think my Endo is preventing me from peeing to get rid of it! HELP!!
1972798 tn?1355549267 I had them with my first pregnancy and was on antibiotics for a while. I would go get checked out to make sure it's not a kidney one now. If it's bad enough it could put you into premature labour.
Avatar f tn Being on endless courses anti biotics did no good to my condition either. In fact, they weakened my immune system and caused me to get a high fever for around 2 weeks because of which I had to quit taking them as a whole. I have tested negative for diabetes and my ultrasound KB showed no signs of stones either. I got a Culture and Urine DR done a couple of months back- The Urine DR showed a slight infection but the Urine cullture resulted in no growth of bacteria.
Avatar n tn I have had a kidney stone and infection in the past. For the last two weeks I have had rt side back/flank tenderness and intermittent pain below ribs and in groin area. I went to the physician's assistant since my MD was out of town and she just told me to drink more water. I have been hydrating. I have waves of fatigue and nausea (not severe) and have been lethargic this entire time. I am concerned that I am not passing what I am consuming.
Avatar m tn I had x-rays this morning for kidney stones but they were negative. I am very scared and worried about what it might be. I do have what I feel is numbness in my lower left of my back as well. Sometimes, it burns a little bit when I pee but not enough to hurt or bother me. I also have some redness at the opening of my penis (urethra).
Avatar m tn I just found out that I have a large parapelvic cyst 3.5 cm in my left kidney and I would like to know what kind of treatments there are for such. I'm now taking Ciprofloxacin HCL 500 mg 1 Tab twice a day.Can you tell me if I will need surgery or not. I do have an appt with a Urology in Sept and I also have a small kidney small thats1-2 mm nonobstructing rightr superior pole renal calculus.I'm hoping that this medication will help and I won't need to have surgery on my kidney.
Avatar n tn A couple years ago I started developing chronic urinary infections. There was always some mild bleeding with these. I take medication from the doctor, it would go away, and then a few months later it would be back. Sometimes the urine tests would come back negative. No one knew what was happening. I started keeping a log of when this started and what I was doing different. I realized that I had started drinking a lot of ice tea.
Avatar f tn I began having kidney infections at the age of 7. I had several severe kidney infections in my teen years and early 20's and had several test done with results of scarring only. I had the worst kidney infection in my late 20's with a fever of 104.5 and E.coli present, the "walk in clinic" doctor wanted to send me to the hospital but I refused due to having two small children and recently divorced, so I chose to just take medication at home.
Avatar f tn Hello, I was diagnosed with a kidney infection 4 weeks ago (left side) note i did not have any UTI infection symptoms that may have caused the kidney infection Two things what stick to me that may have caused this - over exercising the previous two weeks and i also lifted something heavy in the gym which i pulled my lower back muscle on.
