Norfloxacin (Norflox) can cause significant stomach irritation, and severe back pain should always be evaluated, as it can sometimes relate to the urinary infection itself. Since your discomfort is severe and you are taking multiple acid-reducers like pantoprazole (Pan 40) and esomeprazole, seeking a second opinion is a very safe and reasonable step. Another doctor can evaluate your symptoms, ensure the infection isn't spreading to your kidneys, and potentially switch you to a different, more tolerable antibiotic. Please prioritize a physical evaluation to safely manage your treatment and find relief.
