Brief Answer:
Yes kidney stone can cause back pain

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your information.

Yes, according to your current height and weight, you are having over weight (Your BMI is 26). You have to reduce 6 kgs. I suggest you start exercises.

For back pain: Yes kidney stone can cause back pain as well.
Drink plenty of water.
I suggest you Ibuprefen 400 mg for pain. Use it sparingly.
If your will not reduce after 5 days then I suggest you get ultraound scan to rule out kidney and ureteric stones.
Do not sleep in same position for long time.

It is good to hear that you do not have any bone problem.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
