Hi,
The only way to find out for sure is to get tested. If you do have jaundice then your urine should be discolored as well. Jaundice causes brandy-like (brownish) urine discoloration. Sometimes the stool may have a pale color resembling clay. A doctor may evaluate the clinical signs and decide whether testing is necessary. If you do get tested, the most crucial test is serum bilirubin (direct and total).
Pain in the back is too broad to draw any conclusions. More information is required like when it occurs, how long does it last, whether there is anything that makes it better or worse, etc. Clinical assessment is of unprecedented value for this symptom.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
