Have you been seen?: Get to your doctor. Obesity likely has a role with this. Need to rule out structural problems in the back, radiculopathy (nerve impingement, disc prolapse, etc) and other sources of back pain. Can only be done by a physician, and need to see the same one so as not to unnecessarily repeat this workup.
