A member asked:
How do you know if accute lower back pain is being caused by something other than your back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A good history: And physical examination and sometimes blood work is usually the best way that the doctor determines the answer to your question. There are other things that cause pain in your back besides your back, but are much less common than musculoskeletal back problems.
