go to the doctor and get a urine culture. even if you aren't sure-- my first UTI went for a week and a half..and it was some of the worst suffering in my life. Also the infection (if present) can spread to your kidneys if not already there. But judging by your uncontrollable urge, i'd say you have one. that's exactly what mine was...like every 2 seconds. it was torture

Since I've had both of these; I had the Kidney Infection twice. But I think you have a Urinary Tract Infection because the symptoms are:
For Bladder Infections:
Frequent urination along with the feeling of having to urinate even though little or no urine actually comes out.
Nocturia: Need to urinate during the night.
Urethritis: Discomfort or pain at the urethral meatus or a burning sensation throughout the urethra with urination (dysuria).
Cystitis: Pain in the midline suprapubic region.
Pyuria: Pus in the urine or discharge from the urethra.
Hematuria: Blood in urine.
Pyrexia: Mild fever
* Cloudy and foul-smelling urine
Increased confusion and associated falls are common presentations to Emergency Departments for elderly patients with UTI.
Some urinary tract infections are asymptomatic.
For Kidney Infections
The above symptoms.
Emesis: Vomiting is common.
Back, side (flank) or groin pain.
Abdominal pain or pressure.
Shaking chills and high spiking fever.
Night Sweats.
Extreme Fatigue.
When bacteria get into the bladder or kidney and multiply in the urine, they cause a UTI. Although they cause discomfort, urinary tract infections are usually quickly and easily treated by seeing a doctor promptly.

A kidney infection is a UTI.
A urinary tract infection is a bacterial infection of any part of the urinary tract. Kidney infections cause more discomfort, lower back pain and even a high fever.
You could have a bladder infection, I get the feeling of pressure on my bladder when I have one as well. Go see your doctor to find out if you do have one ASAP before it gets worse and before it spreads to your kidneys. Bladder infections are no fun but are easily treated with antibiotics and you'll be feeling better within a few days.

If the urge is pretty constant and it burns and you don't feel like you can empty your bladder it sound like a UTI. I do not know the symptoms of a kidney infection. You have to go to the doctor to get some antibiotics to clear up a UTI. If that is what it is and you feel ithe symptoms start sometime later drink cranberry juice diluted in water. If you do that early enough sometimes it will stop one. A great reference place for medical questions is WebMD. Check it out.

You have the urge to pee. You did not mention if you can't pee. If you can't pee... yes then you might have a bladder infection. If you back hurts then you might have a kidney infection. I would encourage you to drink some cranberry juice, lots of water... and call the doctor.

Sounds like a bladder infection for the moment. Leave it untreated and you're headed for a kidney infection, which is not only very painful, but life threatening! You need to see your doc for a urine test and antibiotics. Don't let it go!
