What Causes Abdominal Pain With Back Pain?

It has been over an hour since I posted my initial question. Some of the symptoms have begun to subside (continued abdominal pain, distended stomach) but not the acute paid I experienced for several hours. Back pains have also abated to a degree. When might I expect a response?
More data is needed as following....
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I am sorry for the situation you are in.
Apart the symptoms you are experiencing, may I ask if you are also having:
- fever?
- headache?
- urinary tract problems: burning/pain while/after urinating?
- are you having discharge from your genitalia?
- are you having nausea? or any other symptom?
- do you suffer of any other disease: diabetes? hypertension? cardiac problems?
- are you taking any medication on regular basis? at the moment?
- how can you describe the pain apart being acute: unbearable? related to food/drinks?
For the moment, I advise to take mephenamic acid or ibuprofen for the pain.
I also advise to :
- have light meals
- take probiotics
- increase water intake with Oral rehydration salts
Looking forward to have the requested medical data of yours!

No fever, headache or urinary tract infections (I had a radical prostatechomy 8 months ago and I am scheduled for a cystoscopy on Wednesday to ensure scaring of the bladder has not occurred), no discharges, mild nausea and no diseases (cancer is no longer an issue). I take medication for cholesterol (Lipitor 10 mgs) . The pain was very severe some hours ago but in the last 90 minutes has subsided greatly. I took tea and toast with little side effect.
Thank you. XXXX
Cholecyst problems...and UTI to rule out...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back XXXXXXX
I understand you had a prostaectomy 8 months ago, however, I still insist of running urine analysis as UTI is common in patients with your medical history.
As you are taking Lipitor for high cholesterol, my doubts go for possible cholecyst issues:
- stones
- sludge
- infection/inflammation
A further abdominal ultrasound is advised to evaluate the status of cholecyst and pancreas/liver/kidney for final conclusions.
For the moment, I advise to take:
- mephenamic acid to relieve pain
- have light meals
- avoid oily/salty/chilly foods
- avoid carbonated drinks
- eat often and small portions
Wish fast recovery!
