It is far more likely (since you have a history) that this is a UTI, not anything sinister at all. It is also VERY common to not feel any pains with a UTI, and that the only thing you have is blood in the urine.

Blood in urine, back and hip pain....both indicative of a UTI. I have had several myself, and your symptoms mirror mine.

Are you/have you been treated with any antibiotics?? For that amount of time with blood in your urine, I would say NOT, or else you have not been given appropriate ones for your (probable) infection. Not all UTI meds work for the individual case, and it often takes lab testing to identify which one is best for you. Also, it sometimes takes more than one course of meds to clear a very stubborn UTI.

Try not to get yourself in a state about this, as the chances it is serious are slim to say the least.:hugs:
