Have Pain In The Kidney And Coloured Urine. Had Kidney Stones Earlier. Can This Be A Re-occurrence?
I am pooping bright red blood, also my urine was a very dark red since Thursday but has now gone to more of a pink since I have been drinking Java Tea (for kidney stones) and I have light pain in my kidney. I have had kidney stones twice in the past 2 years and I figured this was just a re-occurrence but I believe it may be due to my addiction to xanex and or high stress from work. Also it started when I went to Curacao and I was dehydrated for the first day and ate alot of beef (3 burgers in two days) at the hotel as I was scared of the local food. One other thing is they have a heavy problem with mosquitos could i have caught something from a mosquito?

Welcome to HCM.
Red,dark color urine indicates stone in the urinary system.
There are always chances of recurrences of renal stone.
Go for cbc,urine,stool and USG abdomen to confirm the diagnosis.
Also go for stone analysis and start proper diet management according to type of stone.It will be helpful to reduce recurrence.
Drink more water and other liquids.
Start treatment under guidance of your doctor.

HI i understand your problem .Let me answer your query one by one.
Your fears are real so is the risk-benefit ratio
yes,recurrence are very common in kidney stones especially high when you are
stress from work, dehydrated, prolonged travelling
as far as i know xanex doesn't predispose to kidney stones
frankly speaking even i am predisposed for renal stone formation and had a 2 to 3 episodes in the past
so keep yourself hydrated all time drink plenty of water ,beer,electrolyte(potassium) rich fluids like tender coconut ,citrus juices (orange and lemon)
ovoid too much stress which is difficult i know.
AS you are symptomatic now kindly consult a nephrologist as early as possible .
Wish you good health
