    No. 04-4012.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted Jan. 20, 2006.
    Decided Jan. 30, 2006.
    James H. Green, Kansas City, MO, Cathleen A. Shine, Harrisonville, MO, for Appellant.
    Jeffrey P. Ray, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Frank V. Smith, III, Chief Counsel, Social Security Administration, Office of the General Counsel, Kansas City, MO, for Appellee.
    Before RILEY, MAGILL, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Edward Case (Case) appeals the district court’s order affirming the denial of disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. Having carefully reviewed the record and considered Case’s arguments, we affirm. See Draper v. Barnhart, 425 F.3d 1127, 1130 (8th Cir. 2005) (standard of review).

Case first argues the administrative law judge (ALJ) was precluded from discrediting his complaints of disabling back pain because it is undisputed Case had chronic back pain and the ALJ acknowledged it. We disagree. The ALJ gave multiple valid reasons for finding Case’s subjective complaints not entirely credible, and the ALJ could acknowledge Case’s back pain, but still find Case not credible as to whether his back pain was disabling. See Goff v. Barnhart, 421 F.3d 785, 792 (8th Cir.2005) (this court will not disturb decision of ALJ who considers, but for good cause expressly discredits, claimant’s complaints of disabling pain); Dolph v. Barnhart, 308 F.3d 876, 880 (8th Cir. 2002) (while there is little doubt claimant has pain, issue is whether pain is so severe as to be disabling).

We also reject Case’s challenges to the ALJ’s residual functional capacity (RFC) findings. The ALJ considered Case’s chronic back pain in making his RFC determination by including a sit-stand option, limiting Case to lifting no more than ten pounds — which was consistent with Case’s 2002 testimony that he could lift five to ten pounds — and restricting Case’s bending. See Stormo v. Barnhart, 377 F.3d 801, 807 (8th Cir.2004) (in determining RFC, ALJ must consider medical records, observations of treating physicians and others, and claimant’s own description). Further, the ALJ included in his RFC nonexertional limitations related to Case’s chronic back pain and depression: he found Case moderately limited in social functioning and daily activities, and he found Case could seldom bend, could not climb stairs, and could not do repetitive activities with his right hand or overhead work. To the extent Case suggests the ALJ should have found significant limitations in concentration or memory, the psychological records do not support such limitations.

Finally, Case argues the ALJ should have included the need to he down during the day in his hypothetical to the vocational expert. We conclude the ALJ properly relied on the testimony of a medical expert (ME) that he found no objective basis for the need to he down. See Goff, 421 F.3d at 794 (hypothetical is sufficient if it sets forth impairments supported by substantial evidence in record and accepted as true); Harris v. Barnhart, 356 F.3d 926, 930 (8th Cir.2004) (whether there is need to he down is medical question requiring medical evidence; record did not contain any evidence that medical condition required claimant to he down for hours each day and court could not fault ALJ for relying on ME’s testimony that record did not support finding of significant fatigue).

Accordingly, we affirm. 
      
      . The Honorable Nanette K. Laughrey, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
