A member asked:
Can you tell me docs, is back pain that causes severe headaches something to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Separate problems: The headache and back pain are separate problems and need to be addressed separately, but simultaneously for successful pain management outcomes. In many cases headaches and back pain go together although reasons for the association is unclear. My recommendation: see pain management specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
