Pain could be from many different origins such as the disc, facet joints, sacroiliac joints, or simply from muscles or tendons that have been sprained. See your doctor to get evaluated. If he finds nothing, then ask for a referral to an interventional pain management specialist who may be able to help further.

Are You constipated? Back pain can result from many medical situations, including constipation. In fact, constipation and back pain have an ongoing relationship in the lives of many people. Back pain can cause constipation and constipation can cause back pain as well. Backaches that are caused by constipation are not uncommon; they simply don't get the attention they should and are often attributed to other reasons. When a person becomes constipated, it basically means accumulated waste has led to an impacted colon. In more severe cases, the bowels swell to the point where they're actually pressing against nerves in the lower back. As the nerves are compressed, they send shooting pains and spasms throughout the lower back area and occasionally down the legs as well.

Chiropractor and Massage Therapist for quick results....
Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Sciatica yes, but also could be a pinched nerve. Any pain in the leg? Any numbness or tingling in your feet?
I suffered for over 5 years and Finally got my MD to order an MRI when I started showing signs of nerve damage. I had 2 herniated discs and spinal stenosis. Surgery corrected the problem immediately. If you can at all, see a neurosurgeon. Make your Dr. order an MRI before telling you everyone has back pain.

I have this also, it was "my" stiatic nerve (spelling??). I went to the Dr, they tried to help, I've had an MRI and though I'm 47, the Dr said that it "should" heal itself. I'm in pain, but it's seeming to get better. I'd see a Dr as soon as you can, I waited four months because of my work and wouldn't do it again (wait). I was told, there is NO surgery needed, that's what I wanted to hear. Get some pain relief, through your Dr.

you must have slip hitting your back or buttocks on the floor. there must be some fracture of the bone or nerves getting twisted. prolonged sitting or improper posture maybe also be the cause of the pain.

That sounds like Sciatica. Google it for more explanation on what the pain is and how to remedy it.
