Malloy

few weeks ago i began to feel a strange pain in my back. its not an ordinary pain. its not related to movements, i didn't get hit anywhere, its just a constant pain and a bad feeling of uncomfort in this area.
in addition my wife said to me that my skin is yellowish. i must admit that i can't notice it but she and my son claims so.
what can it be?
for general knowledge i am a 61 years old, i smoke and drink beer but not in a exaggerated way.

Back pain is one of the most popular symptoms an old man can suffer from. Most of the times it's just back pain. It could be worst things - even cancer, so you should got to your GP BUT, don't worry most of the chances is that it is just a back pain.
as far as i know you can have back pain from sleeping in a bad position, so you can't recall an injury to the back, but you hurt it every time you take a nap.

Your back pain can be from many etiologies. however the fact that your wife and son thinks you are jaundiced is very important because it might aim us for the diagnosis.
I know that painless jaundice in an elder should always raise a suspicion for pancreatic cancer.I know that you have a pain issue but I recommend you to go to your GP as soon as possibles just to rule out this option.
