A member asked:

What is a 70 year old to do to get rid of back pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends on cause: Back pain can be due to a variety of problems. If you can determine where the pain is coming from (disc herniation, muscle spasms, lumbar stenosis, compression fracture in a 70 year old), then the treatment options will be more obvious. See your doctor to begin the workup.
