I've had hundreds of those. I get at least 4 a year. I have scarring on my kidneys as a result.
If you can't stand cranberry juice (which I can't, it's yucky) take the pill form. Or, drink a lot of tea. Also, keep your feet warm. Hot baths help to take the ache out of your kidneys but don't stay in it too long because of the bacteria.
Another thing to think of, don't EVER hold your pee longer than 10 minutes. After that, the bacteria doubles and that's how a lot of urinary tract infections start.
Hope you feel better soon, I know how much they can hurt.
