SEVERE KIDNEY PAIN AT NIGHT

Lately when I wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, my bladder is so full, my kidneys hurt and it normally goes away after I pee...but the past 2 nights,  on and off for 2-3 hrs after I pee i've had very instense , sharp cramping pains in my kidneys...so bad I was ready to drive myself to the emergency room! I've lost a lot of sleep due to this cause I work 10hr days. Does anyone know what this is? My doctor was in surgery all day so I couldn't get an answer from him.

last night I actually woke up 2 pee before my bladder was so full and I actually had no pain at all. But 2day I noticed a couple of times a sharp pain in my upper right side. It only lasted a second both times so its proly nothin. I'm wondering if the built up off pee forced me 2 pass a kidney stone or 2 the other night.
