A member asked:
I have a lower back pain and front and back ribs pain with strain at bak...stiff back muscle...what are the possible reasons and treatment for that?

Muscle: At your age it's more likely muscle related. Have you been more physically active than usual recently? It would be reasonable to treat conservatively with time and nsaids. See a physician if symptoms persist or are severe.
