As long as the stones stay in the kidneys and don't move they shouldn't cause a problem. At least that was what I was told. The stone that moved caused a big problem so I don't want another stone to start moving.

I think another stone did move but it only disrupted my urine stream and caused a momentary flash of blood. That stone didn't hurt if that was what it was.

I don’t think it matters since I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis long before I got PMR….
It does sound like you might need to be on the gout medication again, even if it’s for kidney stones!
Have you spoke with your doctor about the elevated Uric acid level?

Have you tried the Kidney Stone Diet Plan and Prevention advice from the National Kidney Foundation?
1. Drink plenty of water
2. Cut out high oxalate foods
3. Eat enough dietary calcium
4. Avoid calcium supplements
5. Eat protein moderately
6. Avoid high salt intake
7. Avoid high dose vitamin C supplements

I cut out high oxalate foods early last year after reading up on calcium oxalate crystals which not only cause kidney stones but can also accumulate around joints and soft tissue, causing oxalate arthritis. I follow the National Kidney Foundation dietary recommendations for that reason.
