Low Back Pain

Based on your answers, some of the most likely causes of your back pain include

• degenerative joint disease (also called osteoarthritis)

• sciatica

• disk disease

• polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR)

• spinal stenosis.

There are many other possibilities, however.

While conservative measures, such as heat, rest, and over-the-counter pain relievers may help, it is a good idea to see your health care provider for evaluation of your back pain.
