Yes possible: Yes some times sliding inguinal hernia, pulls posterior abdominal contents (colon) causing back pains.Other causes of back pain should be considered first before considering hernia as a problem.

Yes: Especially large ventral hernias that occur after a previous abdominal operation. Repair of these types of hernia requires a surgeon with experience in abdominal wall reconstruction.
