Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 This may be considered a " dumb question " but I'm going to ask it anyway. I have been experiencing spasming pains in my lower back that have grown steadily worse the more weight I have gained. They are at their all time worst right now. It is especially bad when I am doing a lot of stooping and bending, like with housecleaning, but I also get this when walking for exercise. When it gets really bad if I sit or lie down it goes away. Is this possibly a direct result of my obesity? I am assuming it is. If so, does it count as a " co-morbidity " ? I am going to have to resort to a back belt, as it just hurts SO bad to do everyday tasks. Is it just due to carrying around so much more weight than my back can handle?
