Hi folks . I've been experiencing extreme back pain whenever I play my guitar either sitting or standing . I don't know if it's my posture as as I try to sit or stand straight as much as possible.

I have tried adjusting my strap numerous times but I still get back pain. I'm wondering what I could be doing . Could I be positioning the body of my guitar wrong ?.

I often seem to have the body of my guitar right in the middle of my stomach.
I think the problem might be the weight of my guitar even though its a cutaway hollow type but yeah perhaps I'm not distributing the weight properly.

This is really getting on my nerves because as soon as I try playing I am literally getting pain within 10 minutes and as a result I have to stop.

I'm going to see my doctor this Tuesday and see about getting some x-rays just in case something might be wrong with my back.
