Musculoskeletal back pain causes chest pain.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that musculoskeletal back pain causes chest pain?

Unclear. Several sources indicate that musculoskeletal conditions of the spine and chest wall can produce chest or chest-wall pain, but none directly establishes that musculoskeletal back pain causes chest pain as the claim states. The evidence supports only a narrower, related proposition.
