I had a substantial amount of blood in my urine and lower Back pain the pain intensified over night to a point where I almost couldn't stand it, then a urinated again and hardly any blood. When I went to the doctor they saw just traces of blood left in my urine and said I have a UTI. I am now having intense Back pain (can't even sit down), on my right side when I touch my lower back I get nauseated. Do I hve stones or just an UTI or both?

 Pyelonephritis (infection of the kidneys) can be quite painful. Kidney stones can also explain your symptoms.
There is a connection between the two in some instances. Some bacteria can induce kidney stone formation.
If there is concern about kidney stones, a CT scan should be done to look for them. You should also be treated for the UTI.
Best wishes.
