Fellow back pain and pelvic discomfort may be due to many reasons like pelvic organ pathology, genitourinary problem, musculoskeletal cause etc. You may need clinical correction and few blood tests. Blood tests include routine hologram, random blood sugar, liver and renal function test, urine and stool RE/ME, ultrasound of abdomen, serum calcium, thyroid profile etc. Ultrasound of abdomen can exclude many causes. Colonoscopy and CT scan may be needed after evaluation. It is due to history of bleeding. Proper treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigation reports. Get well soon.
