Yes!: These symptoms warrant immediate evaluation as you may have a kidney infection (pyelonephritis) and this can lead to kidney failure. Get seen now.

Hard to say.: These symptoms in a young male should prompt evaluation. Doesn't sound like an emergency, but i wouldn't wait much longer to see your regular doc. If the pain is really horrible and you have fever or chills you should probably be seen tonight.
