What Causes Sudden Lower Back Pain?
I had sudden pain in my lower left back this morning as I was leaving for work. Drove with the seat heater on the entire way in (60 minutes). Through the morning it has not gone away, and the pain is constant. Felt a little better after laying on my back and resting for 1/2 hour at lunch, but then felt slightly nauseaus (nothing happened). Pain worsening again.
