Can Wine Cause Pressure On The Lower Back?
It seems like everytime I drink a glass of red wine or take the Reversatrol with wine Extract, I have alot of pressure on my lower back a few days later. I drank 3 glasses of wine on Sat. night, by Monday I had alot of pressure, and had to leave work, it seemed like I was having muscle spasms, by lunch time I couldn t even walk, it hurt to sit down and even walk. I took Ibuprofen 800mg and finally whatever was inflammed was better by 5:30 the next day. I don t think I pulled a muscle, because I ve had that before, it takes longer to heal.

Dear patient
drinking wine as such cannot lead to pressure on your lower back. also it doesn't lead to back pain. But drinking can lead to increased acids in muscles and may lead to lactic acidosis which leads to muscle pain after heavy drinking. some persons are more prone to this lactic acidosis and you may be one of them. it's not serious condition and if you are getting repeated same symptoms you should avoid drinking wine.
