Hi,
Usual backache with diarrhea relates with the muscular ache from general weakness and fluid electrolyte imbalance rather than kidney infection.
Continue to consume more liquids, keep a chart of back pain intensity with diarrhea frequency and follow up after 24 hours about the progress.
There is no need of doctor visit at present.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
