General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear thanks for the question.

First let me make it clear that vitamins do not cause back pain. So please keep takingey are very essential for healthy body.

Regrading pain in back it seems to be related to kidneys, if it is in kidney area (little lateral to midline). It can be a simple muscle strain. Or related to vertebrae if in midline.

Muscle strains and vertebrae related pain aggravate with movements. These problems come due to jerk, excessive work . physical examination , x ray and CT scan confirm the diagnosis.

Kidney problem pain is not related to movements and is a colicky pain along with burning micturition. Ultrasound scan confirms the diagnosis.

Accordingly you meet the doctor.

I hope my reply benefited you. Please write for subsequent questions. Kindly rate this reply. I wish you good health. Thank you
