A member asked:
My dad has bad back pains these days can you help him
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs to see his doc: I assume you dad is in his 60's +. While most causes of back pain are from sprain, strain or overuse of the back muscles and connective tissue, there are some very serious causes of back pain, especially in older adults. He needs to make an appointment with his doctor ASAP. If he's noticing leg weakness or bowel or bladder function changes, he should seek care right now.
