Hello Joe and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me advise you, that there're several reasons for difficulty in passing urine.
As you've had an ultrasound scan already, a cause should be found out.
You should get your blood creatinine, and sugar done.
As you've had stones in the past, bladder stone is a possibility.
You're welcome to send a copy of the reports to me, as a direct question.
Wish you well.
