Welcome to healthcaremagic.com. Sorry to hear about your constant kidney stones and pain. It would appear that you have another kidney stone with the bloody urine and left flank pain that you have.
1. The best initial thing you can do is start to hydrate and drink lots of water, this really does help.
2. You should also be on high calcium diet which helps bind the oxalate crystals in your stomach and pass them in your stools and not in your urine. 3. Avoid foods rich in oxalate which include beets, spinach, chocolate and soy products.
4. Reduce the amount of salt you use and use a salt substitute if your must.

I hope that this helps you out, these steps will greatly help avoid future stones and if they do happen it is not as frequent either, good luck and thank you for your question.
