Therapy: I would say physical therapy and possibly manual manipulation therapy. Manila decompression can be good option as well. If back pain is from the spine then in your age group disc pain is high on the list. If recent trauma or car accident can also consider ligament injury of facet joints. Would have urinary system evaluated to look for obstruction. Can consider urine analysis also. Yoga also.

Needs further eval: The hydronephrosis may or may not be related to your pain. A passing kidney stone could cause this. In either case, it needs to be evaluated further with a ct scan to see what is causing the hydro.
