What Are the Causes of Stomach & Lower Back Pain?
Numerous conditions can cause simultaneous stomach or abdominal pain and lower back pain. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, or NINDS, lower back pain is one of the most common health complaints among Americans. Lower back pain may be caused by overuse injuries, direct trauma or arthritis-related conditions. In some cases, however, problems in the abdomen or pelvic bowl–which are often perceived as stomach problems–can cause pain in the lower back.
