Hello,

Thanks for posting on HCM,

From your description, it is most likely that you are suffering from a urinary tract affection which could be an infection or stones causing those pains. You will need some blood test, urine test, abdominopelvic scan which would at the same time rule out other affections such as acute PID (if you are a female), acute diverticulitis/appendicitis. If your pain is acute and severe as you describe, it will be best to go to the emergency room as soon as possible as your condition might require immediate care.

Hope this helps
