Less likely: It is possible, however the refered pain is generally in the thoracic spine region and not in lumbar spine region where lower back pain is. I strongly recommend seeing a Neurologist for further evaluation of LBP.

Back pain: If pain is mid to lower back on right side gallstone could be responsible but usually more behind right shoulder blade. The nausea and lack of appetite is concerning especially if this is after a high fat or high protein meal. See your provider. May need abd CT and labs.
