For future reference. I keep AZO or Uricalm on hand. They numb the bladder and stop the pain until you can get to the Dr. They are what the Dr. wil prescribe for the pain but are about 1/2 the prescription strength but they will work. Turns your urine bright orange.

Baking soda and water is what my friend swears by
One urinary tract infection home treatment often recommended is baking soda. According to suggestions, simply mix about half a teaspoon of baking soda to 8 ounces of water and it will work effectively as a UTI cure.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol, drink cranberry juice or get cranberry extract pills (it's the active ingredient pyridium that you want) and there is a over-the-counter product called AZO that may work if it ain't too far gone.
Careful both types of pills create glow-in-the dark urine and they both have major stain potential. so wear the old undies.
Also, as much as it may hurt, don't hold it in. Void when you feel it.
I usually snuggle with a hot water bottle and a quilt.
Hope you can get it under control.

I have a friend that told me to start drinking black hot tea, no sugar. I had UTI so bad this last winter I was passing blood, ended up having to have two shots and lots of anti biotics, drink lots of water, my urologist told me to save my money on the cranberry juice, just water, alot there is azo pills you can get at the drugstore, they make you pea red but help relieve the pain. hope you get some relief, I would say if it gets that bad to go to the emergency room. The pain is terrible
