My doctor suggested its just back pain and it will go away. he didnt give me anything. what can this be, a friend of mine had severe lower back pain for like a year without getting it looked at and then it wound up being tumors all over his kidneys and liver and it was non hodgkins disease. im not saying i have what he had bc at the end he had bowel and urine blackness. i have nothing wrong with my bowel or urine. no discolor. but im just nervous bc i havent been back to a doctor about this since november. but do u think its something serious, bc if its just back pain i can deal with it but if its something else i dont know what to do..please help me

oh and im 23yr old male, i been working out alot since feb, but this started back in september. i have no health issues at all except epstein barr.

Answer 1

It could be just for sitting for long periods of time and allowing the back muscles to weaken, especially if you use your elbows to support your upper body. The best treatment is exercise, Pilates because they will teach you how to keep your back for LIFE. I have Arthritis, done a few discs in and my only regret I did not know about Pilates when I was your age. If I had known and learned, I would not be in serious pain now and on morphine.

Answer 2

Except Epstein-Barr?
Low back pain is considered below the waist. If this is where the pain is, google "low back pain, exercise" and try these movements. They're magic.
If the pain is above the waist and on each side, at the base of the ribs, that's where the kidneys are (protected by the ribs). Drink a jug of Ocean Spray Cranberry or CranRaspberry juice and the infection will pass. Good luck with it!

Sciatica. Read up on it on the internet
