I'd like to be able to do this exercise as it works everything. However trying various methods with safe lifting in mind I can't get away without an aching back afterwards. I'm doing the standard standing, legs apart swinging the kettlebell from between legs up to shoulder height, keeping back straight, arched slightly up. Should I discontinue?
 
Sounds like a weakness in the core muscles. Search up some core muscle excercises and see if this gives you some strength back. I would discontinue for a week give yourself some time to heal, and try and strengthen up that back, or you could damage your spine like i did.
