My dad has been having back pain lately. Hard to get him to the doctor, too. Trying to see what background information I can find out about it.
Oh dear, back pain is a bummer. Is it isolated into one area? I.e. Is it in the neck area, middle back, or lower back?
I'm not sure yet! You can keep your information broad, just telling me any symptoms or treatments, anything like that.
Well, pain in the lumbar area (lower back) is the most common. Is it a dull ache or is it more of a sharp pain?
It's definitely a sharp pain that he feels from time to time. But I couldn't be sure.
Ahhh...Does the pain radiate to other areas? Sometimes back pain starts in the muscles, nerves, or joints.
