Brief Answer:
Ultrasound will help confirm
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Regarding lower back pain, if its in or around spine and follows a dermatome, then its some problem with back bone, if its around upper lumbar spine then its probably from kidney stone. An ultrasound of kidney, ureter and bladder will help confirm kidney stone. Radiological analysis of spine can help find spine problems.
