A member asked:
Can anyone tell me what could be causing my constant and severe back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rule out badness: Pain that is constant/unrelenting (ie all day/night, no change with position or treatments like chiro/pt) warrants MRI or ct to rule out bad things like cancer. This is unusual but obviously important to catch. Once this is ruled out, imaging can help identify discs or facet joints that might be cause of pain.
