low back pain in your age group may be serious ...
it may be due to poor bone mass - which can be fractured after trauma.. or may be any mass in spine bones or just a muscle spasm...
you need to go for X ray and .. if required MRI of spine... to rule out any serious cause..
I advised you to go to a doctor who can evaluate and advice you further investigations accordingly..
mean while you can continue paracetamol and other pain killer .
hope this will help
should you have any further queries, please donot hesitate....
