Dear patient
This can be your kidney pathology and renal stone is also associated with back pain. This is known as referred pain. I would advise ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis to confirm diagnosis. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Need to consult expert urologist with report. All the best.
