What Causes Lower Back Pain?

i am 33 years old and have been having back pain for about 2 years now, this pain is very strange and i know it cant be muscle pain as in the past i have pulled a muscle in my upper back. This pain is only cause from touch, like if someone was to poke me in certain places in my back it makes me almost scream in pain. i do get an ache in my lower back on both sides but kidneys have been checked and they are both fine....im far to young for this! (oh and i have severe GERD)

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. You should have a thorough physical examination with an orthopedician to rule out the cause of pain. It can be related to spine or muscle strain and spasm. If there is no such cause of pain then it is most likely due to fibromyalgia. Muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine, NSAIDs like nimusulide and physiotherapy should be tried initially and if not working then antidepressants like amitryptilline will be helpful.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
