Woman Has Fever, Low Back Pain

A 31-year-old woman went to urgent care complaining of fever and chills lasting a few days, which she originally thought was the flu. Today she started to experience flank and lower back pain along with vomiting and was worried she had a more serious condition. She also mentioned some discomfort when urinating.

Is it cystitis, renal calculus, urethritis, or pyelonephritis?
