A member asked:

I've been getting really bad lower back pain i've managed to lose weight but the problem is still there sometime i get that bad i'm stiff when i walk?

Good on the weight: it's good that you got the weight down then but the pain may not only be related to the weight . You need an evaluation to help clarify whether this is muscular, whether it's joint, whether it's bone, or other cause. This is something you can discuss with your physician and you may have to be sent for consultation
