Lower Back And Pelvic Pain, Constipation, No Relief On Passing Stools. Cure?

Lower back, side, pelvic pain suddenly started about 8 days ago. It is usually a constant ache, but began with some sharp pains as well. Nothing seems to change it. I am often constipated, but recent bowel movements did not change how I felt much. My doctor had me take an CT scan today, but not results are likely to come in until early next week. Your thoughts?
