Can Interferon And Ribavirin Or Overweight Cause Lower Back Pain?
lower back pain
I have been having lower back pain off and on for a couple of months now. I am a hairstylist and bend and stand a lot but only sometimes at work it hurts. sometimes when I'm not doing anything it hurts. it is not my back muscles. they feel fine. I am a female, 27 yrs old, 195 lbs, 5'4". I am currently on treatment for Hep c with interferon and ribavirin. I think its either bc I'm overweight and need EXCERSISE or its bc of all the meds I am on and its my kidneys. but I'm not a doctor. please help.

Backache has variety of reasons,in your case, it may be aggravated if you are overweight and not exercising.Side effects of hepc therapy may not be the reason.get in touch with an orthopedician/physical therapist and diet control with less fats, calories and salt alongwith exercise shall help.
