You can have low back pain that is really “referred pain” due to other problems in the body.
Many internal abdominal disorders – such as appendicitis, aneurysms, kidney diseases, bladder infections, pelvic infections and ovarian disorders, amongst others – can cause pain referred to the back.
Note that many of the following are rare, or occur in conjunction with other obvious symptoms. So if you suspect “referred pain” always check in with your doctor to rule out serious problems.
Some of the most common causes of lower back pain due to other problems (referred pain) in the body include:
Kidney stones
Cancer of the prostate
Stomach infections
Parasites
Pancreatitis
Gall Stones
Peptic Ulcers
Inflammation of the pelvic organs
