What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Hello, I m 17 and for about 7 hours now, I ve been having lower/middle back pain, but mostly when I straighten my back or stretch. No pain when bending forward just straightening. It s painful but I can deal with it? I m just a bit worried. It s kind of like a sharp pain or feels like a bad bruise. Please help : (

In my opinion you should stop worrying. For immediate relief have some pain killer along with a muscle relaxant and have proper bed rest for few days. Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead. Do not strain your self or over exert. U can also apply some good anti inflammatory pain killer gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally.
