Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* As per my surgical experience, the back ache with abdomen pain here seems to be due to intestine motility related issue, the sound reason for which looks like iron therapy.
* In our clinic, I recommend high iron diet, regular exercises, weight maintenance for better outcome.
