Lower Back Tenderness, Excruciating Pain, Bruised, Pulled Muscle. What May Be Wrong?
Good morning. Two days ago I woke up and noticed my lower back (about 2-3 inches above my tailbone) would feel a little tender when I moved/bent a certain way. Not severe/excruciating pain but enough to be noticeable. However, when I touch the sore spot, or it is touched by me sitting up against a chair, it feels as though there is a deep bruise there (no visible bruise or marks) and the pain will linger for about 30 minutes after I have last touched it. It doesn t feel like any pain I ve ever experienced before (pulled muscles, etc.). Do you have any idea to what this may be?

hi
sore spot at back ........either you are developing pilonidal infection ...that is infection at your hair shafts...coz that place is mostly sweaty and infection is common.......or you are having tail bone necrosis or a ligement stretch at your back......so get an xray and you need to see a surgeon
take care
