I was given several different antibiotics over the next month or so, all of which did nothing, until I was placed on a two-week course of
Nitrofurantoin, which cleared the infection. It did also, however, leave me with nerve damage.
Anyway, despite being confirmed clear of the infection, I still found myself with constant flank pain. Initially, it was mild, intermittent, and only on my right side. It is now a constant ache with an occasional intense pain on both sides.
