A member asked:
Is myopathy why i have back problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Myopathy can weaken muscles and result in early back degeneration. This is very unusual, however. At age 44, if you have early back issues already, then this could be the problem unless your activity and job requirements have just accelerated the degeneration in the back.
