disc question

Aside from the continuing back pain, every once and a while i have noticed that might have blood in urine and mild discomfort. It is darker than usual and was wondering if a herinated disc would cause such a problem. Also i have some good news i finally have hearing set for disablity in Sept. It will have been almost One year since i applied back in Nov 2007. Anyway I am getting all my documents together that i will need to bring with me, as now with possibly having  AS (or some from of athritis may just enough to win the case. I not sure if i should see someone on this or give it a few more days to see if clears on its own, any suggestions would be great thanks Twiggy2

Thanks chutz. I think maybe it maybe that time of the month now i;m not sure, when the darker urine came out the other day there was no other area that was with blood that is why i asked now today i think i started now i will have to wait possibly till after to be sure. Sorry for being so open i worry alot. On the topic of chronic pain, i had a nap earlier this afternoon and in my sleep the pain was very intense almost 10 times worse than when i am awake, like someone is sweezing my sides so much that i cannot breath very scary, my sleep already sucks at night to begin with now i am afraid somewhat of going to sleep because of this, thanks for the info will read up on and if you have more input glad to hear it Twiggy2.
