A member asked:

My lower back has been hurting a lot when i stand for a hour or two. it's been like this for a few years. should i have this checked out? i'm 58 years old?

One very common problem for the cause of low back pain is having a limb length difference or a pelvic rotation or both you can be born with it or acquire this over years. Lift therapy with custom orthotics is very effective in prolonging the need for surgery. A podiatrist would help diagnose and prescribe orthotics.
