Yesterday I ended up with lower back pain which until later this morning I thought was the sciatica. Wrong! Turned out to be a Urinary Tract Infection and it was my kidney that hurt so bad. They hurt in pretty much the same place so unless I have other symptoms it's hard to tell which it is.
Most folks go to the doctor with this but since I don't have insurance and can't afford a doctor, much less trust them I use cranberries for a UTI. I get the pure 100% cranberry juice and drink it continually supplemented by cranberry tablets.
I am not a doctor, nor do I have any medical training. If you need a doctor, please go see one. I'm just sharing what has worked for me in a non-life-threatening situation. Please know that the day it doesn't work I will go to the doctor, kidney failure is not something I want to go through.
(this picture is the only one I found and is not of pure cranberry juice, it is a mix of juices)
The cranberry juice is from Ocean Spray and I've found that Dollar General is the cheapest as far as price.
I had some Rexall cranberry pills that were 4200mg but they were not doing anything for me so I bought what I usually buy which is AZO, mine are 900mg. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Dollar General had them where as the CVS next door did not.
Within 4 hours I consumed 3 large glasses of juice and 4 tablets and the pain was gone. I'm still drinking juice and taking tablets tonight because the urine output is not what it should be yet.
I am going to start drinking at least one glass of juice a day to try and keep another UTI from happening, they seem to be more of a problem the older I get.
AZO has a great tablet for yeast infections too.

You know, I've been taking these AZO for a while now and it's amazing isn't it? I love natural alternatives, but especially when they work! :)
