did my uti turn into a kidney infection?

hi i’m 18f and this month i got my first ever UTI and i don’t know if it went away or gotten worse and possibly turned into a kidney infection. i suffer from severe health anxiety so this is really freaking me out right now.

when i went to the hospital, i was having bad stabbing stomach pain everywhere. i wasn’t having difficulty peeing, no blood, no burning, pain, nothing so i never thought i would have a UTI. they gave me antibiotics and i have been taking them but i haven’t seen any improvement. i was diagnosed with a UTI on January 12th.

after a few days, i started feeling pain/cramping in my waist/lower back area and the pain would range from mild to severe but it would immediately go away when i sit or lie down. on Sunday when i went to go take my antibiotics, as soon as it slid down my throat, my waist just started cramping really, really bad and it only stopped when i lied down.

three days ago, i got my period and was having cramps and that wasn’t out of the ordinary for me until just now i woke up with severely bad pelvic pain. i thought i just had to pee really bad and when i did, it didn’t go away for a bit but now it finally did now i’m freaking out.

i forgot to mention that the stabbing pain in my stomach is back and it’s very sudden. i’m really scared right now because i’ve read a lot of stories and experiences of women that had have UTIs and kidney infections and they’ve almost died from them. did i get the wrong medicine? is this something more serious?
