January 28th, 2009
I’m trying to figure out what could be wrong and having trouble finding answers.
I’ve heard of herniated discs but what are they and how do they get herniated?
lower back pain.
There are a multitude of reasons for “chronic” back pain.
You do not mention the location of the back where pain is experienced, however suspect it is in the lumbar region, as this is the area of the back that carries the entire upper body weight if accessory muscles aren’t helping to carry the load and where most people with back pain experience discomfort.
Not sure if you googled ‘chronic back pain’ but pulled up some interesting sites. Also searched ‘herniated disc’ in yahoo.
Hope this helps.

Sciatica is a common reason for back pain. No PHD / doctor, though, so here’s a site with more info, in case that helps:
