Why does my lower back hurt when i lay on my stomach when being obese?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More detail?: To answer this question, i would need more details. In general, people who are obese are more likely to have back pain because of the strain that the abdominal fat puts on the back. But it is best to see your provider, because there could be something else happening.
