What Causes Severe Back Pain, Abdomen Pain And Nausea?

I have been having severe back pain today, with some nausea, and at 2 a.m. I started passing nothing but blood and mucus in the stool. I'm 64 years old, have had a spinal fusion (that's what I thought the back pain was from) and am having pretty severe pains in my lower abdomen.What should I do at this point?

This sounds more gastrointestinal than spinal. You may have a stomach virus, or less likely food poisoning. If it's not getting better, you should seek emergency treatment, or urgent care, for IV fluids, possible IV anti-nausea medications, and possible abdominal x-rays.
