Urologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Yes, it is better to go to ER straightaway as it quite likely you have something more than just an ordinary infection. At the least, you should have an ultrasound examination to rule out a bladder or a kidney calculus which has slipped down into ureter and often causes the symptoms that you have which we call 'strangury,.
You can in the mean time see if you can get some citrus soda to alkalinize your urine, and take drugs like Flomax which might help your bladder empty better.
