Hello,
The pain into the stomach is related to possible gastritis or ulcers. Having used anti-inflammatory drugs such Advil or naproxen for back pain may have contributed to this stomach pain. I can advise you to stop anti-inflammatory drugs and start taking the antiacids such Omeprazole.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
