Hi,
Thanks for writing yo HCM.
It can be a ureteric or kidney stone.
Or if you are also having altered bowel then can be a colitis or diverticulitis.
Get a ultrasound of abdomen done to rule out stones...
For the back pain you need to see an orthopedic for physical examination and an x-ray of the spine will also be needed.
Till then you can take analgesic for the pain.
Get well soon
