Time: U don't have to explain to your ors! you can prove him wrong @ your young age by losing 20-25 lbs. If u do this over the next couple of months and u continue to have lbp or it worsens or appears to be running down a leg; then see him and let him reevaluate you! good luck to you!

Are you overweight?: Many times we don't like to hear the truth but it's true nonetheless. Regardless, see if your doctor might get imaging done MRI and x-ray to evaluate this for you.
