If it's bad, there's no reason not to go to an urgent care center to be evaluated. Depending on their resources, they may be able to do laboratory work for you, if needed. Sometimes, they may send you to a local emergency room if additional tests or treatment need to be done that they cannot provide.  
New onset pain could be serious- please see a doctor right away- yes urgent care is a great idea.
Not enough information provided to say for sure, but any severe pain that is not resolving with time should be evaluated by a physician.
