Brief Answer: Suggest you go to ER for investigation. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for using Healthcare Magic. There could be a number of causes of your pain. Your symptoms suggest this may be related to your kidney. A kidney stone can cause extreme pain that is resistant to strong pain killers. If there is infection related to the problem, this may cause vomiting. I suggest you go to the ER as I would consider you need adequate pain relief urgently followed by investigation. This may involve X-rays and scans to identify the problem. I hope this is of help. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Regards, Dr K A Pottinger, MBChB. FRCA.
