Can weight be a major factor in back problems?

Question:

Son-in law always has severe back aches and definetly is over weight . Love him dearly but I don't want to hurt his feelings.

Answers:
Most definitely. Our spines can only handle so much weight, then symptoms such as pain start appearing. Low endurance. Not only pain in back, but just about all joints, knees, ankles. Your relative probably already knows this. But you could mail him information anonymously, to bring his attention to the possibility the pain could be from being overweight.

Yes it does... lil too much in the front throws off you stability and the muscles in you back have to make up for the extra 1 or 2 tires latched on the front.
