Is sickness and backaches linked?
Certain illnesses can cause backache as one or even the major symptom. Kidney stones, typically cause severe pain in the upper low back.

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.

Yes. Kidney stones are very possible when you have Crohns disease and what you refer to as constipation could be a blockage.

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.
