From your history and response to painkillers, you seem to have a condition called spondyloarthropathy. It is basically an arthritis of the back , specifically the SI joints.
This however needs to be confirmed by either an MRI of the SI joint or a blood test called HLA b27.
The kidney stones don't really have anything to do with this problem.
Generally diet does not have much to do with arthritis, but if you feel that something aggravates your problem please avoid it.
In case this problem is confirmed you will need to take some medicine for arthritis and also concentrate on exercise for the back and overall.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

visit a rheumatologist

Hi,
I think it would be better to visit a rheumatologist, for the specific problem you have.
A whole body check up would not really give you any further information.
