Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Hyperthyroidism can affect many systems of the body.
Untreated hyperthyroidism can lead to symptoms like muscular weakness, osteoporosis etc.
These may be responsible for your friend's back ache and abdominal pains.
But these type of pains can occur due to many causes like pelvic inflammatory disease, renal causes etc.
So let your friend consult endocrinologist once and undergo thyroid profile.
Depending on the thyroid hormone level treatment to be taken and also associated symptoms can be evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.
