What Causes Backache Along With Constipation?

Hi Doctor, I have a pretty messed up back however, the pain that I am having is not like I usually have. It is more like where the kidneys are and then its comes around to the gut. It was mostly on the right hand side tonight on both. I have been to clinic and E.R. they ruled out kidney stones and infections no bowel blockage I was constipated and now I poop almost every time I go to the bathroom. The heating pad helped my back tonight but the pain in the gut kind of scares me. Any suggestions? New insurance this year need to find a new doctor, etc. I drink lots of water a pee often, I have had 2 prolapsed bladders also. Thank you for any advice or info you can pass on. I have no credit card or pay pal, so I guess I will take my pill and go to bed.
