Hello Weaber and welcome to HCM.
As your symptoms of urgency to pass urine and past history of passing stones suggest, you may have a bladder stone. There's also the possibility of having an enlarged prostate gland. Both can cause urinary infection, which increase the urgency to pass urine.
You need to have urine routine and culture test done, and blood sugar, kidney function tests,s.uric acid,PSA,and an ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis.After check-up by a Urologist, he will advice further treatment, depending on reports.
