Hello Alexandria10. Hard to say what exactly you are experiencing but, either you have a cyst that has ruptured or a kidney stone. If the pain is that severe you need to get to a doctor ASAP. Your body is telling you something and you need to listen! It would also be a good idea to find a local doctor who treats many patients with PKD as some surprisingly don't quite "get it".
