cloudy urine, and pain............?

Question

Over the last few weeks, when I urinate it is kind of painful. I assumed that it was a UTI.....HOWEVER the home remedies that normally work did not. I tried cranberry juice, TONS of water....and the symptoms would subside for a bit, but never fully go away. Another thing that was slighlty different from past UTIs, is
1. I got them when I was pregnant (but am not now)
2. There is NO BURNING, it is more like a SHARP pain and tends to be on the left
3. My urine I just noticed was CLOUDY...I mean it literally looked smoky
I have a doctors apt on Thursday....but was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what could be the cause?

I don't know if this helps....but I have had my heart more recently (skip beats or flutter) more often than usual, and I have been getting bone pain...if that makes sense....could this all be related....I figured the "bone pain" was related to the weather.........

I am 26 If that helps too...........

I DO WHen not taking care of this drink A TON OF SODA.........I'm thinking the heart flutter is unrelated to my bladder than from your answers, &I also have diagnosed anxiety.......I am more concerned about my "private area" it is NOT COMFY!!

Answer 1

As a healthcare provider I would say you have a urinary tract infection which requires antibiotics to resolve. The heart palpatations are not related in my opinion. Generalized 'feeling bad' can also accompany a UTI. The only thing I am concerned about is that you may have waited a bit too long to seek medical help and a resulting kidney infection could be developing (pylonephritis) which is much more serious than a UTI. Getting medical attention is what you need to do. Drink plenty of fluids. Addionally, being pregnant is not a requirement for a UTI.....alot of women get them. If you spike a fever or get pain in your 'flank' areas....go to the ER.

Answer 2

You may have a kidney stone or a bladder/ kidney infection. The doctor will be able to help determine that with a urinalysis. If you are drinking a lot of cola, that can cause the cloudy urine, and the heart flutter (caffeine). Hope you're Ok!! Best Wishes!!

Answer 3

I really don't know how to calm your nerves, you probably want some answers today, so you can rest easier till Thursday. The best thing you can do is just try and put it out of your mind till you get to the doctor. Take some IB Profin for the pain or whatever pain medication you prefer to use. I used to take Cystex for UTI, that one worked best for me, it may help to relieve your symptoms. The doctor is the best place to get your answer, those symptoms could be an array of things to serious or not serious at all. Good luck at the doctors. Take care, and I hope you feel better:)

Answer 4

probably some other infection and not a uti, although when I had a uti cranberry juice and lots of water did not help and the doctor had to prescribe antibiotics for me strong enough to kick it out of your system. I was pregnant at the time, but did not affect anything.

Answer 5

This could still be a UTI, the dr will check your urine to see if it is.

Answer 6

you could have an infection in one of your kidneys
your heart is skipping as you are anxious about your problem
arthritis makes bones ache during yucky weather
