A member asked:

Woke up this morning with lower back pain. this happened before, about 4 months ago. what can the problem be? i have gained a lot of weight ...

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things...: Excess weight frequently contributes to musculoskeletal pain - sore backs, sore knees, etc. You may have strained it lifting something, using poor technique. There are other medical conditions that might explain back pain: menstrual cramps, urinary tract infections, endometriosis, etc. Alternating heat and ice can be a good first-line treatment. It's great you recognize now the impact of weight!
