Hi,
This could be a urine infection or kidney stones or both. The pain of kidney stones (renal colic) can be extremely severe. Drink as much water as possible and sometimes the stones can be flushed through. If this continues I think you should visit the ED. They may do an X-ray or scan to locate the stones.
