Dear patient there are multiple reason for back pain. Since his age is 39 most common cause are 1. Mechanical back pain 2.disc prolapse 3. Listhesis 4. Osteoporosis.
Your husband taking excess of cold drinks is very bad habit as it leads to osteoporosis and obesity.
In teased weight due to obesity puts strain on back and further increase back pain.
I would like to advice mri of lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine which would help in coming to diagnosis and planning further treatment.
