Last weds I went to the ER after having groin aching and stomach cramps for the last month, they did a UA and found that I had a bad Bladder infection, so they gave me Cipro I took it and finished it off on Sat. Well then I noticed on Sun afternoon that the pains were back and worse, now I have Bad nasea and a back ache right under my right rib. Could this be a kidney infection? If so what will they do next? I already had a dose of the meds that they would do for that. Also I have a doctor appt at 330 so I just would like someone to let me know what I should exspect. TIA.

It's possible: an untreated UTI can travel up the ureters to the kidneys. It may be possible that the antibiotics weren't strong enough to do the job the first time. If they didn't do a culture and sensitivity test on your urine at the ER, it may be possible that they prescribed an antibiotic that wasn't very effective on your particular UTI. The doctor will probably do another urine test and prescribe another course of antibiotics.
Hope this helps!
