Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

As you have back pain with an enlarged prostate and lymph nodes, you need complete medical evaluation.

Your prostate enlargement is not mentioned, however, doing a PSA test is also necessary for you at the moment. Lymph glands can get enlarged in infection and other disease states. That must also be treated as per the clinical evaluation.

you also require a X ray of the back (lumbar spine ) to see the bones in your back and if there is any problem with that.

Please discuss the above with your doctor in detail.

hope this helps
