Last May I started with a severe UTI that could not be cleared up for several months. The infection would almost clear up, then begin again. In August my primary doctor ordered ultrasound and then I was diagnosed with nephroptosis in both kidneys. I really had serious lower back pain during these months also. I was lucky enough to get with a Urologist in September. He ordered another ultrasound and MRI. He treated me with antibiotics again and the infection came right back. Next he put me on low dose antibiotics for 3 months. In a couple of weeks it will be time for another ultrasound and check up. After the first month of antibiotics, I began to really improve. I have had 2 months of virtually no pain with incontinence and it has been wonderful also to not have the run to the bathroom all day long and night too.
I have a long history of UTI's. I am now 75 and suffered for so many years. I do not know what will happen next, but I do expect improvement on next ultrasound. Also, I am not holding fluid like before. and when I pee I come close to emptying my bladder. Another Miracle !!
The inability to empty my bladder is apparently why I developed nephroptosis... I do not know what will happen when I get through with this 3 month antibiotic treatment--but I have my hopes my life will improve for my future.
This is such a painful condition to live with. I hope all of you will have a better future too.
