Hi did review your concern. Such a pain described by your brother with constipation can be due to bowel problem, kidney problem, pancreas problem or vertebra bone problem. I would suggest a Ultrasound of abdomen to start with and a stool analysis as well as proper examination of his back and belly.Does he have any pain shooting to his legs? Also if need be get a CT scan abdomen done, to rule many things out, however not needed at this moment.
I hope this helps.
Wish you a very healthy life ahead
