In addition to an elevated temperature, there are some other things to think about when considering why the back pain and constipation might be occurring. Is the stomach or abdomen area almost sore and sensitive to touch? Have you had diarrhea recently that was bloody or had a red tint to it? Any time you vomit blood or have a blackened stool (this is blood in the stool), you might want to get to the emergency room because the back pain and constipation are merely small factors in a much larger problem.

In addition to having the back pain and constipation, a person with an elevated temperature and evidence of blood in the vomit or stool is very sick. Blood in the stool may be caused by polyps that have been torn to the point of bleeding. While polyps are not malignant, they can develop into tumors so a doctor needs to be consulted immediately. Other factors or conditions that may explain the relationship between the back pain and constipation are: ulcer, damaged appendix, appendicitis, infectious diarrhea, or even a simple blockage.
