hello and welcome.
yes..it can cause low back pain because of conti nous use of back muscles and mostly effect tendons,ligaments and muscles and it is relieved with rest and medications
bony involvement occurs when there is trauma for example a fall while pulling a rope and it need surgery.
may be your brother had some kind of injury while working and he might have ignored it...
hope you'd understand.
thanks
