I have had 3 bouts with kidney stones in the past. Each time the symptoms are different. First time was the excruciating consistent pain for about 5 hours resulting in a stone being passed. Second time was off and on pain but pain was mild in comparison to the first resulting in a stone being passed days later which looked completely different then the last one. Third time was a quick bout of side pain and chills which went away within an hour and I am assuming I passed a stone but no evidence to prove it. The Second and Third were within a year of each other. Now about another year later I am experiencing what appears to be blood and discoloration of urine but no pain as of yet with a mild burning feeling upon urinating which started a few days ago so I started drinking more water it looked good for a couple of days but now its back and I'm obviously worried about it. My question is: Does this sound like another possible symptom of kidney stone/s where brownish/orange/reddish urine results without any of the tell tale side pains?

The simple and quickest answer I can give you after years of having stones and numerous stones in all those years is...YES. As a matter of fact I just experienced somewhat of the same thing earlier this year. As it turned out I had 3 different stones at the same time while expereiencing the discolored urine. I did however have a great deal of pain that was on and off for several months due to a misdiagnosis of "no stones" from first cat scan. I did not have the severe pain though most of the time when I experienced the dark reddish/brown urine usually in the mornings and early day periods.
