Brief Answer:
Get ultrasound Scanning and x-Ray of Abdomen done
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up.
By radiation of pain I mean whether it spreads towards umbilicus or restricted only to back .
The urinary symptoms due to any UTI or stone are increased frequency ,urgency,nocturnal frequency ,burning urination etc.
The back ache that you have could be either due to problem of back bone or muscles or Kidney stone .
Taking plain X-Ray of the abdomen and Ultrasound scanning will help to pin point diagnosis.
Please consult Urologist and Orthopaedic surgeon for evaluation and further treatment.
Thanks and Regards.
