I recently starting having back pain. It does not hurt when I sit or lay but getting up and down is very difficult. Also bending to pick up something is very difficult. I am overweight (5 3 , 170lbs). I have been trying to lose weight since 1989 and everything I have tried has caused me to gain weight. All of my blood work has been good - I am on no medication. Is there a doctor that specializes in difficulty weight lose? I am concerned that my weight is causing the back pain. What do you think?
Thank you for the question. Yes over weight may aggravate back pain, and it is fair to be right weight. I believe you have taken exercises, diet measures etc. You may ALO have a thyroid profile/hormone profile checked up. Do back strengthening exercises under guidance of a physiotherapist. See or tho surgeon and have x-rays?MRI of spine for cause of back pain. Take excel Chat Doctor.
