I'm sorry you are hurting so bad. Question. Are you able to sit, or stand to relieve the comfort?

I'm sorry you have to go through this pain. Anytime I see the words "horrible pain" and "kidney" I immediately think of kidney stones. I've had a ton of them and believe me the word"horrible" is too nice a word to describe kidney stone pain. Pleas see you doctor as soon as possible.
Thanks,

Go to the doctor's, find out and get better.
You can look at the info below but it's so much easier to see the doctor and not scare the dickens out of yourself reading about "possibly".
I go to MEDMD It has advice and info about everything, symptoms, illnesses, vitamins, minerals, supplements AND ALL IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER....so you can find what you need easily.
For the Symptoms, it's free and you just register and type what the symptoms are.

As for " It could definitely be a kidney stone, or infection, or scoliosis... you need to see a doc and do some tests. If it's just muscle pain you could get medication/therapy for that. Hope it's nothing serious and you get it resolved soon! "
Don't think it a kidney stone, or infection or scoliosis, but seeing a doctor is a very good idea because it's usually easily treatable as Stargone mentioned.
NOT kidney stones or you would be screaming when pushing your finger on the kidney area and you'd have a fever, vomiting, having to pee a LOT.
I've had an infected kidney which is bad enough but easily cured with antibiotics... and if you had kidney stones, you would be running, not walking to the emerg.
" Sudden, severe pain that gets worse in waves. Stones may cause INTENSE pain in the back, side, abdomen, groin, or genitals. People who have had a kidney stone often describe the pain as "the worst pain I've ever had and nausea, vomiting, fever, chills.
Also " Frequent and painful urination, which may occur when the stone is in the ureter or after the stone has left the bladder and is in the urethra. Painful urination may occur when a urinary tract infection is also present."

Don't think it's an Infection or you'd have a fever, bad nausea, possible vomiting and the chills if it got far enough to cause you the pain you're describing.

Scoliosis, I have scloliosis and it definitely does NOT sound like scoliosis as it would be an slightly annoying pain at worse and not bad at all. Plus if it was scoliosis bad enough to cause the pain you're speaking of your spine would be shaped like a very obvious letter "S".
