Suggest A Remedy For Sharp Pain In The Back And Hip Area

Hi, I am a 52 YOF with pain in my right lower quadrant that is so intense I cannot stand up straight. There are times it seems to be from my back but mostly is in the front. I would describe it as a sharp stabbing pain and has been non stop most of the day today but has come and gone regularly for the past week or so.
