Hello
Lower back pain may be due to many reasons like musculoskeletal causes,pelvic pathology,genitourinary calculus etc.
You need proper clinical examination and routine investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,,renal function test,urine RE/ME,ultrasound of abdomen,X-ray KUB and L/S spine (AP /lateral).
Ultrasound of abdomen is important in diagnosis and treatment.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
