There are several things that can cause Back pain, from sciatica or a herniated disc, to kidney stones or fractures. It's best to just see a doctor, if your back pain continues with no relief.
Kidney stones can block the flow of urine through the kidney, ureters, and/or urethra, depending on where they are lodged. The ureters are tubes from the kidney to the bladder, and the urethra is the tube from the bladder to the outside. There are other consequences that can happen because of kidney stones, as well. There are microtubules and other components in the kidneys that can be damaged or scarred, for someone who gets kidney stones frequently. The other problem with kidney stones is that when they cause urine flow to slow or back up, the potential for inflammation and infection is increased. People that are frequently troubled by kidney stones are at a higher risk for Chronic Renal Disease.

Yes, it is possible for a variety of kidney problems to cause lower back pain. Kidney related low back pain is at the top of the list of possible causes when no recent accident or injury has occurred to explain back pain.Kidney disease or injury can cause lower back pain in one of two ways:A reflex pain from an internal organ that is experienced on the surface of the body, due to excitation of what is called a viscerosomatic reflex.Direct swelling and pressure of an enlarged or inflamed kidney that applies direct pressure to the low back muscles and nerves, causing pain in the immediate area of the kidney.Common symptoms of lower back pain caused by kidney involvement:Dull deep pain in the low back over the area of one or both kidneysKidney sore to touchElevated body temperatureUrinary frequencyCloudiness of the urineBlood in the urinePain or burning when urinating
The symptoms include blood in urine, pain when urinating and sharp pains in the lower abdomen and back. If kidney stones are suspected, it is important to see a specialist ASAP as there are procedures which can make passing the kidney stones less painful.
Kidney stones can affect the excretory system by blocking the urinary tract or getting stuck in the ureter or urethra or bladder. If this does occur, insufferable pain follows. It's kind of like not being able to pee and having to hold it in for a really long time.
Parathyroid hormones can cause calcium deposits in the kidney. A urinary tract infection can also cause calcium deposits to appear in the kidneys.
A history of kidney stones can tell a health care provider about possible contributions to back pain, painful urination, joint pain, fatigue, or rash.
Certain illnesses can cause backache as one or even the major symptom. Kidney stones, typically cause severe pain in the upper low back. The reduced circulation caused by a weak heart can cause an increase in body aches to areas which have a preexisting problem. Gall stones can cause mid to upper back pain that radiates into the shoulder. And certain viral diseases such as Dengue fever and encephalitis can cause severe stiffness and pain in the neck and back. Although back pain is not directly caused by the most common illnesses, the extended periods of bedrest required to get over the flu or other severe illness will sometimes produce backaches. However, even in those cases, the backache would probably not have occurred had there been no preexisting back problem developing prior to spending the extra time in bed.
Yes. Kidney stones are very possible when you have Crohns disease and what you refer to as constipation could be a blockage. When the intestine narrows from active Crohns even the smallest undigested item can get stuck in that narrow passage and back everything up. Very little will get through and the pain can be excruciating. Combine that with the pain from kidney stones and it will mean a trip to the emergency room for sure. Pain, vomiting, fever, low urinary output, bloating are all symtoms.
