Hello,

The following may be causes of your abdomen and back pain which are diverticulitis, kidney stones, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, ovarian cyst, lumbar spondylitis, and lumbar disc degeneration.

You need to be examined in detail and few investigations like complete blood picture, ultrasound imaging of abdomen and pelvis. They may be necessary to point at a specific diagnosis and initiate appropriate treatment. Please do consult a physician for evaluation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
