A member asked:
What do you think is my problem if my lower back hurts when i bend forward and backward?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually a disc : Usually a disc issue due to loss of its structural integrity. You may need to get into better shape to compensate for this by increasing your core strength, possibly more regular exercise & weight control if indicated, better body mechanics in terms of bending & lifting, smoking cessation if this is an issue & otc medication. There are other possible causes that would need a physician to check.
