@miracle95 Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. I am so sorry to hear about your husband's back pain. Hopefully tomorrow's MRI will shed some light on why. I have a PNET that has spread to my liver and bones. I do not get back pain from the cancer in my bones even though it was present in my spine on a few scans. I did have back surgery over 25 years ago, so I understand back pain. Has he tried any stretching or physical therapy to help with the pain?

Yes. He went through some PT and went to the gym 3-4 times a week doing mostly stretching exercises used during his PT. We hope to get some answers as to whether cancer plays a part in this back pain or whether it is related to a form of arthritis that is weakening the vertebrae’s. Thank you for responding.
