Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Blood in the urine with confirmed history of kidney stones along with experiencing back pain and pelvic cramps indicates that the stone could get dislodged and struck in the ureter. If the stone size is less than 7 mm, then it may get dislodged and pass through urine.

In case the symptoms reoccur again, you need to consult a urologist promptly for evaluation and intervention. Otherwise, you can wait for your scheduled appointment.
Drink good quantities of water and consume citrus fruit juices.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
