Hello,
There are plenty of causes for the symptoms you have mentioned ie Pain in the mid back.
As your doctor ruled out the kidney stones, it may be due to other causes such as Overuse, muscle strain, or injury to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support your spine or Myofascial pain that affects the connective tissue of a muscle or group of muscles.
As he have pain radiating to tummy, it could be due to mobile small kidney stones or appendicitis.
My advice is to do ultrasound abdomen to rule out any stones or appendicitis.
If everything is normal, better try any bed rest and pain killers like Aceclofenac or Ibuprofen.
Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
wishing you good health.
