ok. try the more obvious choice, based on your age. an orthopedic surgeon. back specialist. he will examine you, order some laboratory tests, and probably order some radiologic exams. once he is thru, and he apologizes, "sorry, it's not my turf, as i can't find anything wrong with you", he may recommend you to another specialist.
for kidney stones, there's the nephrologist. for gallstones, there's the gastroenterologist.
good luck, madam.
