Needs evaluation: The location of the pain- sounds like it's in the area called the epigastric region, with pain radiating to the back and aggravated at times with food suggests a pancreatitis with retroperitoneal (back area of the abdomen) involvement. It is important to see your doctor to explore other diagnoses (gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, others), based on the specifics of your case.
