I know I have kidney stones in my left kidney scheduled to broken up with lithotripsy on 4/23. I already had a large stone removed surgically from the right side in November. the last 2 weeks I felt like I have a uti, I told the doctor but he said it would feel like a uti from the kidney stones. the pain is getting worse. do I actually have a uti from the kidney stones, should I ask for an antibiotic? honestly the pain goes back and forth between my kidney and my groin area. I dont want to end up with a worse infection. at this point I want some relief 😮‍💨

I had uti from kidney stone bc the type of stone I had Harbored bacteria apparently. I’ve also had calcium oxlate stones cause uti bc of an instruction. With both I never had symptoms or signs of uti but rather I had kidney pain (from obstruction), cloudy smelly urine, and if it gets to your blood stream you’ll have fever, chills, confusion, high heart rate etx . I would go get tested
