What Causes Back Pain And Brown Blotchy Spots On The Ankles?

hi my husband is 26 yrs old and in the past couple months his ankles have gotten brown blotchy spots and they just keep getting darker and darker and closer together! they look like what old people get on their legs or what people get when they diabetes. he said he thinks its liver spots but i didnt think you could get them so young. also he has horrible back problems and isnt able to move around as much as a normal person is and also has been taking pain killers now for almost 3 years, im concerned that it could be a side effect from using the pain meds and is hurting his liver or something! can you please help us and give us an idea of what it might be thanks a bunch -worried wife

Hi,

Taking long-term painkiller could affect liver and kidney... how is his output... it's better to have a liver and renal function evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
