A member asked:

I have had mid-back pain/flank pain, lower back pain constantly for weeks. could it be my arthritis or my weight (344) on height (5'9)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back pain: Difficult to determine based on the information that you provided. Flank pain is more often related to kidney infection or stones. Mid and low back pain can be caused excessive weight and poor core strength. See your medical doctor for evaluation.
