My doctor prescribed Cipro yesterday as I thought I had the start of a bladder infection, which didn''t show up in the specimen, but she said my Ph was off. Today, it''s worse and I''m getting pain in my back and side (left) and difficulty urinating, but no burning, just lots of pressure and some blood. Could this be a kidney stone and how long do they take to pass? This started one week ago today and has slowly progressed.
