UTI? At my wits' end with this stuff!

I have never had a noticeable UTI in my entire life. However, several weeks ago, after rushing to the ER in the middle of the night, I was diagnosed with kidney stones. After a week of misery and pain and about five prescriptions, the pain went away and I was back to normal.
Tonight, however, I was leaving the house when I felt a sharp, stabbing pain in my lower pelvic area, and it radiated out to my urethra(?). Shortly after, I found myself running to the bathroom every five minutes with a persistent, urgent need to pee. When I do go, nothing comes out.
That was almost 12 hours ago. It is 4 in the morning. I cannot sleep and I am in tears because I'm so miserable and it will not stop. I assume this is a UTI, however it is Sunday and my doctor's office is not open. I work all day Monday and so I won't be able to get in until Tuesday. How am I supposed to make it three days without sleeping? How can I work (in a daycare) when I have to pee every five minutes?

The pain is nothing compared to the kidney stones. The pain I can live with. But the constant pressure and urge to run to the bathroom is frustrating me beyond belief.
Help? Please?
