I'm 22, and I've had lower back pain for 2-3 years. I went to a doctor, and he said it's nothing serious. I'm not very heavy; I only passed 60kg (132 pounds) a few weeks ago.
Sometimes I think it's because my back curvature is more than normal, but I'm not sure. My back will start hurting a bit if I've been walking a lot, it's been this way for years. But it got worse 3 years ago after spending months sitting in front of the computer for hours, on a cheap wooden chair.
It's not a crippling pain, I can ignore it and go about my business, but I just feel uncomfortable and weak, and I'm always concerned about it getting worse. I guess it doesn't help that we don't have any decent chairs in our house, but I'm not sure if I can afford anything right now. (I don't even have a bed, I've been sleeping on the ground for 9 years.)
Is there anything I can do about this? I read somewhere about back muscles, is it true that if they're stronger, I won't have any more pain?
