I am experiencing back pain or discomfort, is this normal?

Using the iWALK crutch causes minor gait adaptations that temporarily alter the way you use the muscles of your legs, hips, glutes, and lower back. This may cause short-term minor fatigue and discomfort that tend to self-resolve as these muscles become accustomed to the new activity prompted by the iWALK crutch. If your back discomfort intensifies or does not resolve within a few days of use, discontinue use of your iWALK crutch and consult with your physician.

If you have existing lower back issues prior to using the iWALK crutch, consult with your physician before using the iWALK crutch.
