Can drinking cause low back pain?
Tbh yea I used to get pain in my stomach and lower back and it's gone since I stopped 3 weeks ago. Don't know what caused it. Do t think wld be liver as that's higher up. Did a bit of reading on net (not a good move really) when I was getting it and said may be pancreas but obviously that's just a possibility and can't rely on the net. I'd go to the gp if you're having any sort of pain. Mines gone tho so I'm pretty sure it was so etching to do with the drink xx
I used to get little aches and pains everywhere, but the back yeah. I always believed it was my kidneys as I had punished them constantly. Mine did go away after some sober time, but like everyone said if you're concerned see a doctor. We don't know what we are doing when we drink sometimes or what we're feeling so it is possible you may have something messed up as well.
My lower back pains did go away when I quit drinking, because I stopped sitting around all the time. I actually exercise and eat well now If you have concerns please see your Dr. My experience and yours do not correlate, but I will say taking care of oneself solves a lot of issues we dealt with when drinking all the time.

Big Time - It's probably Kidney and intestinal pain. My was.
A simple blood test will test liver, Kidney and most organ functions. As it improves it's probably healed up but continued abuse becomes irreversible so please so see a doctore

To everyone saying "see a dr". My doctor is aware of the low back pain and has concluded its sciatica and a slightly bulged low back disk. My question wasn't asked properly as I didn't tell you all I already saw a dr about it. My question was sort of about how much relief people with back pain got from the abstinence. People always say how sugar and alcohol are bad for the joints...was wondering about others experience with the before and after

I have chronic back pain so drinking or not didn't make much difference...
but sober, I had a much better all round level of health and I think that definitely contributed to my well being...I dealt with pain better
I found relief in some exercise...that may not be suitable for you of course but keep working with your Dr to try and work out solutions, Scared

Aside from what others mentioned, the physiological damages caused by alcohol... Having a beer gut and passing out on the couch, I would wake up with a very sore back. Sometimes it would take a day or two to feel better.
Been a while since I had a back ache.
edit - didn't see clarification post,,,
