For the past 5 years I have had a pain in my lower back. The pain was more of a nerve pain and not a muscular pain. After having one of my lower left molar teeth extracted, the nerve pain in my back stopped. Being a police officer, and wearing a gun belt that can weigh as much as 15 pounds. I contributed the constant pain in my age and profession. Since having the tooth extracted, I have been more active physically because there is no fear of the pain returning.
