Yes, there are other causes for back pain besides the weight ; Muscle Strain, Nerve Impingement , Osteoporosis, Arthritis etc . Also, 280lbs can be difficult to carry daily, so consultation with Dietician & PCP plus Programmed low risk and low impact exercises might be added to One's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) to help.
