hello
the backpain could be due to numerous causes and needs evaluation. since you have other comorbidities,and complain of backpain along with the left side, you need to get an xray done or better MRI of lumbosacral spine.This would rule out any disc prolapse or spondylolisthesis. hope this helps.
take care.
