Very hard to tell. Kidney stone typically gives a spasmodic pain which is severe and radiates down to the labia. May be associated with nausea and vomiting. Styrightforward stones will not be associated with a temperature but will tend to give blood in the urine. Most will be seen ona simple x-ray.

Urinary tract infection the pain tends to be most constant dull achey and localised to the back/loin. Blood and protein common in urine. May have temperature.

To complicate things can have a stone and UTI.

With back pain and blood in the urine you should see a doctor and not the nurse. I would go back tomorrow. UTIs don't usually give agonising back pain. Differentiating kidney pain form musculoskeletal pain is easy. Moving hurts with m/s pain. Kidney stone pain is the same whatever you do. Good luck !
