Back Pain Causing Stomach Pain. A back injury or degenerative condition in the spine can cause local pain, as well as discomfort in the abdomen. A pinched nerve can cause pain in the area served by that neurological structure. A pinched autonomic nerve can impede proper function of the system controlled by that nerve.
Back pain can come on suddenly and last less than six weeks (acute), which may be caused by a fall or heavy lifting. Back pain that lasts more than three months (chronic) is less common than acute pain. Back pain often develops without a specific cause that your doctor can identify with a test or imaging study. Conditions commonly linked to back pain include: Muscle or ligament strain. Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement may strain back muscles and spinal ligaments. If you're in poor physical condition, constant strain on your back may cause painful muscle spasms.
