Can Pain In The Stomach Be Due To Back?

Hi there, I have pulled my back last Friday (lift-up a box and the damage was done ...) Since approx. Saturday I also can feel pain on both sides of my lower tummy (feels like period pain) Can it be connected ? (back is still hurting)

Many thanks for your answer.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Yes, it is most likely musculoskeletal pain.
While strain in back muscles, it may cause pain in abdomen as well.
To confirm, I would suggest ultrasound of abdomen & pelvis, till then muscle relaxant & pain killers are usual prescriptions.
Hope this information is useful to you.
Thanks. Regards.
