Hi,
kidney stones do not causes any symptoms if they are small in size 5mm will not be able to pass through the tract and causes back pain & painful urination. Burning/ painful urination, cloudy urine may also due to urinary tract infection anywhere from kidney to urethra mainly due to stasis of urine. Kidney stone for long time may lead to permanent kidney damage and infection itself can become life threatening condition without treatment. So you should go for early consultation with a nephrologist.
You should also undergo Total blood count, R/E of urine, culture& sensitivity of urine, USG and IVU. Treatment depend on size and determination of location.
Thank for consulting HCM,
