It surprises me that you had a UTI for a few months and never realized it. For me the pain is unbearable and I have to use a heating pad. There is a chance of kidney damage as with all bladder/uterine infections, but chances are it is likely just the infection has spread. I'm surprised they haven't given you a good 10 day dose of an antibiotic to get rid of it, it usually does the trick.
I can tell you some things that will help you through it. Avoid Tylenol and Ibuprophen cause they can irritate it more, as can caffiene, sugar in fact any carbonated soda. Cranberry Juice is your friend, drink tons of it.
I know for the people that have had kidney problems they usually have a sharp ache on thier back just below thier rib cage. However you don't seem to have that, but I am no doctor. Just make sure you tell them everything you can remember, keep a notepad and jot things down as they occur.
I don't know if this helps at all.
