Strains of the midback are quite common in people who lift heavy weights, but since his symptoms have been persistent for 2 years raises possibility of a herniated intervetebral disc.Other possibilities are early development of facet arthritis or degenerative disc disease of his spine. Has he had X-Rays of his midspine? MRI? Orthopedic consultation? Improper exercises,poor lifting technique worsen
