I am a 17-year-old girl who is sexually active. For the past week, it has been hurting to pee, and I haven't eaten in three days, though I drink a lot. I sleep for about 14 hours a day, and my back is killing me, especially on the right side of my lower back when I take a deep breath. I had a period, so I don't think I'm pregnant. What could be going on?
