Backpain: Where in the back the pain is? What makes you think it is gas related ? If it is gas pain it is not going to be there for days or weeks. It would be helpful to guide if we have more information like your age, associated conditions and regular medications. Our physicians would be happy to help you if call on the consult line.

See answer: You can't actually get gas in your back. But you can have excess gas accumulation due to air swallowing(aerophagia) that can cause pain radiating to the left upper back(posterior chest).
