What Causes Back Spasms Along With Hard Stools?

I am having back spasms, especially when seated or getting up from being seated, and I have also been having hard stools. They both seemed to start a little over a week ago. At first I thought my back pain was due to a strain, but I didn t know when that occurred, or if my straining during evacuation might have caused it. However, when lying down my back pain subsides.
