Absolutely! Especially the intestinal gas part. Once you have lain all night without much movement, your body slows down its functions, which can cause a build up of gas. Did you eat before bed? This can be a true problem, as your digestive abilities reduce once your body rests.

It is possible that an enlarged prostrated or excessive intenstinal gas could result in excessive back pain, as both of these conditions can cause excessive pressure on the lower back.

Enlarged prostate especially could be causing back pain, because it radiates pain to the lumbar spine. Intestinal gas would usually just cause severe abdominal pain.
