Sorry your feeling blah and the hospital almost missed your UTI. Please call your regular doc as soon as possible though. My husband had a missed UTI and went into kidney failure and sepsis. He's OK today but please don't wait. Blood in the urine usually means it is reaching your kidneys. Do you have a fever? If you don't then it's most likely blood from the bladder. Most people run a fever when it has gone to the kidneys, but not always. Either way, it is not good to have blood anywhere. My husband also had a bad back ache before all this happened and he thought it was his ms acting up.

One more thing. Have your doctor check the urine culture for sensitivities. It could be the antibiotic your on isn't sensitive to the bacteria you may have. Your regular doctor can give you the correct meds if needed. This would not be the er's fault though since a culture takes three days to complete.
