Back : Back pain is very common. It can be brought on by position or activity. The pain may be related to bones, disks, joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves or other organs. The most common cause of back pain is wearing out of the spine (degeneration) and this can be related to genetics, lifestyle, weight, work and injuries. The body can compensate for a long time but may eventually develop pain. I would recommend seeing your primary care doctor to get checked out. Physical therapy, core strengthening and weight loss may help relieve your pain. Good luck!
