Wish I was there to put hands on him. But goats have a natural... funny bone kinda spot on their back. Typically half away between hip bones and center of the spine. Some react more then others to being "pinched down" a typically thing used while showing dairy goats to level out their back. But the swelling isnt good if thats what it is. How is his conditioning? How often do you get him out. Can he keep up with you on at a slow jog speed in uneven terrain? Conditioning before weight always. As for his back, need a goat person or a vet to come out and check him out. And no more weight till you get it figured out. Could be a temp problem that you will make permanent by putting weight on him.
