description The object of this paper is to give biochemists some insight into current thinking on back pain. I shall discuss the important, but limited, relationship of back pain to the principal pathological changes in the lumbar intervertebral discs.

The literature on back pain is enormous, so I have made no attempt to select even a small part of it for this article.
