“UTI? Kidney Stones? Anxiety??”
I have mild, menstrual like pain in my pelvis. It has been off and on all week. Today. I started urinating frequently. No pain with urinating. I had similar symptoms back in November. Had a Ct scan with contrast and no stones. What is the likelihood that stones have developed since my last Ct scan?

zero. keep drinking enough water and you will be fine.
The likelihood that a stone has developed and is causing these symptoms
when no stone was seen 2 months ago is very low.

If you had symptoms in November and had a negative CT scan it's unlikely the symptoms you're having now are from a stone. Stones can form fast but are still unlikely. Problem is that a CT with contrast can miss small stones because the contrast is white and stones are white on CT. If blood is in the urine it's possible. More likely cystitis. Check into a test by a company called Pathnostics. It checks PCR for a lot of microorganisms that may not grow out on culture.
