Brief Answer:
Osteoarthritis /Spinal stenosis

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir!

Welcome to healthcaremagic!

I understand your concern.Low back pains could be due to many reasons but looking at your age ,I could think of osteoarthirtis or Spinal stenosis.

I would ask you to see a physician and go for an MRI spine to look for any pathology.Try to do light exercise with ice compression on the sore area until you see a physician.

Hope this helps.Feel free to ask more.

I am specifically concerned about what would cause pain in the lower back when swallowing, which happens mainly while lying down.

I wonder what the connection would be between the throat and lower back.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hello Sir!

Thank you for writing back.

Every organ in our body is interconnected.I have already mentioned to probabilities of your disease, which could be the cause.But since your symptom as u said is specifically associated while swallowing,esophageal disorder comes to my mind.

Among all esophageal disorder,esophageal cancer is the one which i seen to cause low back pain.I would ask you to see a physician and get a thorough body check up.

Hope this helps.Feel free to ask more.
