UTI moved to Kidneys but not showing positive urine test

I came down with the flu on Christmas day, and by day 2, I also started having signs of a UTI. I had Cipro on hand, so I started taking it. After a few days with no relief of symptoms, I realized my script was expired. So I got doc to call in new script. Long story short, it never went away, and as of Friday, I'm on Macrobid. Saturday, my lower back on my left hand side started aching. Urgent care said I have negative urine test but i have a temp. I should go to my gyno asap tomorrow, right?

Since you are taking Humira, you should see the doctor that prescribed it and undergo a thorough workup. You may have

a serious infection, or be suffering a serious complication of Humira therapy

It is difficult to say if you have a kidney infection since you self medicated before giving a urine sample. You should see an MD who can take a good history and diagnose you correctly, especially since you are on Humira.
