MMmm, here we go, blood in urine and stinging when passing it too. Also a real stinging right at the end of my Urethra - ouch :-)
It is bearable but uncomfortable. Plenty to drink and I've just grabbed a Paracetamol to see if that helps.
It is a good sign of course but - they say after 4 hours it kicks in and bang on time if not 15 minutes early!
