A member asked:

I have back pain, feel like ants or sharp objects penetrate my back. what could it be? what kind of doc do i see for this problem? thanks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: What part of your back, upper, middle or lower. Also for how long and what things make it worse? Physiatrist, rheumatology or orthopedic doctor's can help.
