A member asked:

Can indigestion cause severe back pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Indigestion, as well as other intestinal disorders, can cause severe back pain. However, anyone with severe pain should see a doctor to identify the exact cause; it is not wise to just assume indigestion as a cause without first ruling out other causes.
