Back pain is a common but minor side effect of TDF. According to drugs.com (https://www.drugs.com/sfx/viread-side-effects.html):

"Some tenofovir side effects may not need any medical attention. As your body gets used to the medicine these side effects may disappear. Your health care professional may be able to help you prevent or reduce these side effects, but do check with them if any of the following side effects continue, or if you are concerned about them"

So wait, and if back pain persists, talk to your doctor.

Yes back pain is a side effect of Viread. You might also want to check your hormone levels.
