What Causes Persistent Pain In Back?
Hi, I had a large boil on my back; It never popped or drained; Eventually went away; But around the time it went away I developed a deep cramp like pain within my back that has continued for about a month now. There has been no trauma or injury to cause the pain. The pain is constantly present like a dull cramp and escalates to a sharp a pain at times. Is there possibly a relationship between the past boil and present pain?

Hello,
Back pain may be caused by a number of problems but a pinched nerve by disks in the back is quite common. Nerves control muscle tone and movement and for this reason can be associated with muscle spasm in the surrounding muscles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
