Brief Answer:
Can be vertebral column issues.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear ,
I read your query and here is my advice.
I don't think this is related to kidney or liver issues. I think that this back pain can be related to vertebral column issues like any spondylopathy, arthrosis or bulging discs. This is made worse during bad position while sleeping.
Sleeping on side and using a pillow between legs is a better sleeping position.
I think you may need to do a x-ray to check any vertebral column issues.
Anti-inflammatory drugs such ibuprofen can help reduce pain. Low vitamin d don't cause this pain
Hope I have answered the question.
