Hello,

Lower back pain may be due to lumbar muscle spasm or disc prolapse or root compression.

Colon problem may present as abdominal pain, bloating and constipation.

Please get it done ultrasound abdomen, x-ray lumbar spine ap lateral view.

Then please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
