What Could Be The Cause Of Unbearable Lower Back Pain Followed By Severe Nausea?

This morning at approximately 2 am I had acute severe, (almost unbearable), pain mid/lower back on both sides. I could feel what felt like my kidneys physically throbbing with my hand placed over them. I was literally doubled over in pain and no position I tried made it any better. I honestly thought I was going to pass out. I was so nauseated that i almost threw up from the pain. It radiated around my sides to the front side during the episode. After about 30 min it started easing up. I have had a constant dull achy pain along w/the nausea since then. It gets a little stronger for a few seconds at a time and returns to the bearable achy pain. I will say that the pain at its worst is comparable if not a little worse than when I gave natural childbirth. What could this be?

acute onset of severe lower back ,the reasons are ureteric/renal stone, anurysm/rupture of aorta or acute disc prolapse and treatment modality is different for every reason. first do the investigation like USG of whole abdomen and MRI of abdomen and spine then consult with report to your physician or with us.
