What causes the present lower back problems with pain?
Patient: i got shot in the back when i was 12 the scar reopened when i was in weight lifting during football practice when i was 16 and the doctors patched it up again im 18 now and im starting to get lower back problems underneath the scar could it be from my accident or could it be from weight-bearings cause i still weight lift for rugby in college and i go swimming often Doctor: Dear patient it seems your back pain is not due to accident but might be due to adherent scar and weight lifting. Since weight lifting itself leads to back strain and bursitis undernith scar also lead to back pain you need to investigated for both. I would like to advice ultrasound of the scar area and digital radiograph of spine to  come to conclusion.
