Q: can hctz cause muscle n back pain started yesterday and have had sore muscles and just feel worn down... feel like good chance this could be culprit?

: It is possible that hctz is contributing to your muscle pains seccondary to diuresis of electrolytes. Possibly you should make sure you are well hydrated and drink something like gatorade or eat banannas to restore electrolyte balance such as pottasium.
