Understanding how back pain affects emotions. Even after you adopt a healthy diet and exercise regularly, every now and then, back pain will creep up on you. Regardless of how well-conditioned your body is, you’ll always face a lower back problem at some point or another. In most cases, the back problems are a minor inconvenience that pops up every once in a while but for others, it’s a debilitating condition that just won’t go away!
