 With these symptoms, the first things I would inspect for would be a urinary tract infection/kidney infection as well as possibly a kidney stone. These would be the top of the list. If it were not these things, then there are a few less likely things that could be assessed for; however, I would first start with the urine/kidney infection.
Best wishes.
