What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Suddenly yesterday afternoon my lower back starting hurting and I couldn't sleep last night. I do stand and walk alot at my job and I am also riding on a school bus for about an hour bouncing around on the seat. I also have a small ranch and have chores to do where I have to bend down and over. I haven't experienced this kind of pain before, what do you think could have caused this. I am 5 ft tall and about 110 lbs.

Never mind, I didn't know I had to pay to ask a question, cannot afford this. Thank you anyway.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely a strain of back muscles.It can happen while assuming into a awkard posture or lifting some thing or while climbing stairs.It is better to have an orthopedic examination to rule out other conditions effecting spine like disc herniation.For back strain i advise my patients with a short course of NSAIDs like Aceclofenac and Muscle relaxant like thiocolchicoside.For some i give Gels with NSAIDs like diclofenac and caspascin for local application.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
