A member asked:
I have been diagnosed with prostatitis. how does this condition cause lower back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Referred pain: sensory nerves that go to the prostate come from the same spinal cord level as nerves that go to the muscles and tissue in your lower back, so the pain is felt in both locations. Think of a dog moving it's leg when you rub it's belly.
