A member asked:

Can back packs cause muscular skelator aches? im 26 and have back pains upper and lower including my mid abdominal area. im a college student. 5 day

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: This will vary with the type of pack, the weight placed within it, and the way it is carried. Some with well designed frames distribute the weight better & are less a problem than those that are just slung over your shoulders. If you have related problems please seek out a way to balance the load & carry it better so this is less likely to happen.
