Back pain can be an absolute killer. Aches and pains in other areas of the body can be overcome for the most part, but the back is the anchor point for everything the body does. Try to move without putting some strain on the back, even if it is a minuscule amount. So if the back is in bad shape and the days are feeling long because of that pain, there almost feels like there is nothing one can do.

One of the biggest reasons why men can suffer from back pain is bad posture. It may not seem like it, but a lot of folks may not have the best posture in the world. Lots of slouching going on that will add up to those moments when the back feels like it is on fire.
