My lower back is killing me! Bend a certain way, getting in and out of the car, lifting my legs (putting on pants, etc.), stabbing pain right at the bottom of my back. It doesn't feel muscular, but almost like it could use a good crack. Does anyone with a back problem know if this COULD be a slipped or herniated disk, artheritis, or what??? If it could be something the dr. will just say I have to live with, then so be it. I just wonder if anyone has these symptoms and what I might be facing ahead. If it's worse tomorrow, I will have to go to urgent care and get it checked.

I actually have been having the same problems. I went to a doctor a little while ago, had an mri, and found that i have bulging disks in my lower back. You should see a doctor. If you do certain things, like lift heavy objects, the disk could actually slip and cause more pain. I have to go to physical therapy for a while, but seeing a doctort is what u should do.

You are never defeated may slow down in the race till you find your answer, your only defeated if you stop looking for solutions. I have had all of the above including very strong narcotics, which I wouldn't want to do again.. Now I use very few pain pills and Medical Cannibiss, which may not be an option in your state or something you would even try.. But for me it has kept me away from most of the strong narcotics at least not near what I was taking.. an my sleep or lack of I should say is much better.. Other then that, You learn to live with some amount of pain. :( Good luck

Here is a simple remedy until you see your doctor.Massaging the back muscles will reduce the pain.Apply an icepack to the affected area. This will make the area numb and reduce the pain. More details and remedies at http://aches.in/backpainremedies.html

It could be a pinched nerve or a herniated disc. If you go to a dr. they will send u to a dr. for backs, and they will either want to do surgery on ur back, or pain pills the rest of ur life!

See a chiropractor!!! He can tell you whats wrong and try to fix it with regular adjustments. If its more serious he will send you to a specialist.
