It sounds like a slipped disk. You need to tell your Doctor. He will probably get an MRI to check it out.

You have my sympathy..back problems are so debilitating,I know,having suffered for many years,ranging from Sciatica to a Prolapsed Disc.\nMy advise to you would be,plenty of rest with a cold compress on the affected area,pain-relief and anti-inflammatory and a cream/ointment designed for muscle strain etc.\nMaybe you could ask someone to massage some Tea Tree and Lavender blended with a good carrier oil such as,Almond,into the lower back using as much pressure as is comfortable for you.\nIf any of the above don't improve your condition then I suggest you visit a Chiropractor or see your GP and ask for an x-ray just to rule out anything more serious such as disc problems or trapped nerves.\nI wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are feeling better very soon.

Go to your Doctor or go to a chiropractor they should be able to help! A hot bath and those new pads you stick on you back Like icy hot or something like that They work I use one and my back pain went bye bye for a long time! But it will be different for everyone! My back was hurting due to a car wreak!

Lower back pain is caused by weak abdominal muscles.  Muscles work in pairs--one contracts, the other works. Your abs and your lower back are such a pair.  When your abs are weak, your back has to do more work, and therefore it's stressed and hurts.\nHowever there are MUCH better ways to strengthen your abs than these silly machines they sell on TV.

I think a back brace would be really helpful to you. I have linked to one of the best back braces out there.

Its, quite  a common symptom. I've had it myself. There is probably some slight irritation to one of your lumber nerves ( the ones in your lower back) You might have twisted your back or slept in an awkward position. \nYou don't necessarily have to have any back pain with this complaint.\nIt will probably come and go for a week or two then go away by itself. \nDo you find the area feels very sensitive to touch? \nYou can also get the same sensation in other areas- forearm and backs of shoulders are common.\n\nIf in doubt  or if things get worse see your Dr. \nHope this helps

You need to do a lot of crunches, or if you have access to an ab lounger, it works beautifully without back pain. Good Luck!

MRI isnt necessarily going to let you know whats the cause of your back pain. If you have fallen recently, you may have a some sort of vertebral bruising. Typically back pain arrises from muscle strain. If you have done heavy lifiting or strenous excercise and your lower back hurts, the piriformis muscle (around the buttocks area) can become very tight causing very painful back pain. That muscle happens to tighten up often when i run alot. \n\nMy suggestion, get a nice lower back massage or, if you are worried, go see an osteopathic doctor. They can do back adjustments and/or give you a cortazone shot if need be in order to help with pain. I deffintely recommend a DO over and MD... \n\n...good luck...

It does seem like a nerve problem, probably compression of a nerve(s). Do not strain your back. Complete bed rest, OTC medication to relieve the pain and consult the doc asap. A CT/MRI would be needed to confirm.\n\nHope that helps\nRgds\nLex

normal back pain is caused by strain on the back muscles. if you strengthen your core muscles and your abdominals it will share the work load with your back.

The causes of back pain can be mechanical, meaning from your bones, muscles, or joints, or it could be organic in nature.  That means that the pain is being caused by something more internal that is referring pain to the back.  Kidney infection, or stones will commonly refer pain to the back.  One simple way to help determine if the pain is more mechanical in nature is to see if you can find a comfortable position to get into.  If you can, then the pain is probably from an injury to your spinal joints or a sprained muscle.  Did you notice anything that might have caused a sprained back?  For example heavy lifting.  Disc hernitations are common and can cause serious back pain.  You can not see a disc herniation on an x-ray.  You need an MRI for that.  If you went to the hospital, assuming the ER, they are concerned mostly about a fracture or other serious pathology.  \nIf you have a primary doctor go see him or her.  You can also seek out a chiropractor.  Either will help you understand the cause of your pain.

Honestly that sounds like me in my calculus class during 1st period.  Lower back pain can be caused by weak abdominal muscles, and headaches can be caused by dehydration.  Drink more water and see if that helps with the headaches, your memory, and maybe even your fatigue, and if you are a little overweight like I am, try doing some sit-ups, that can help with your back.

get some icy hot patches. And get  some one to give you a massage. It also depends what kind of bed your sleeping in..Make sure its not that soft. Cause then your back is not stright and that will cause more pain

I can treat back pain within 20 minutes also, but if you can do slip disc it is wonderful. Can you please tell me by mail how you achieve it and what is your success rate? My success rate in this area is about 90% and worried of some failures.

Low back pain could be cancer that has spread, but if it is cancer most likely you have some other symptoms.  The cancers most likely to spread to the spine are prostate cancer, breast cancer, and lung cancer.  If the back pain isn't helped by over the counter meds, and stays for more than a few days get it checked out.  My husband had persistent low back pain and it turned out to be prostate cancer that had spread to his spine.  Yours may be nothing serious, but don't ignore it.

You know, it is difficult to know if this is a result of the epidural or not. What does your physician say about it?\n\nChiropractic has good success with low back pain. Be sure to see a reputable chiropractor if you decide to do so.\n\nYou could try yoga or back stretching exercises, as well. Maybe a massage therapist?
