I am unable to use my colon properly so my intestines are backing up is that a possibility of my back hurting?

Could be: Could be referred pain if you are truly impacted. If that is the case, you should seek care from your pcp or a gastroenterologist. Many other causes for back pain do exist, so they would also have to be entertained (musculoskeletal, kidneys, nerves, spine, etc.).
