How are you? As kidney stone develops, they can also cause hematuria or blood in the urine. Hematuria can be 1)microhematuria which is  blood detection on urinalysis and not by the naked eye or 2)gross hematuria as the stone passes through the urinary tract. There may be some degree of hematuria at any stage when a stone is in the urinary tract, and even after passing the stone due to the local damage caused by passage of the stone.

It would be good to see your doctor for proper evaluation such as urine tests or culture and proper management. I hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.

PS :  The other thought is that they have passed thru into your bladder so the pain is gone but they have not passed out yet, so thus the frequent urination.  Of course a UTI is another avenue .. I'd call your Dr and let him/her know of your ongoing symptoms.  At the very least, they will want to do a urinalysis I think.

How long ago did the pain go away yet the cramps remain?  I am not a Dr., just a kidney stone sufferer like you .. but sometimes you get all cut up inside and the cramps go away but you are pretty sore inside for a few days afterwards after they pass thru and have done their litle exit dance ???
