Back pain: Yes you should or even a chiropractor.  Possibly just a strain, maybe a disc problem.  Try some Advil (ibuprofen) to see if it helps.

Question 2

how do i prevent back pain from standing?

Accepted Answer

Strengthening : One of the most common reasons for back pain is a straining of the back muscles. Thus, an easy prevention technique is to strengthen the back muscles (and sit-ups are not a back exercise). See my health guide on back pain for an easy and effective back strengthening exercise.

Question 3

how do i prevent back pain due to sitting?

Accepted Answer

Correct posture: The seated position actually places up to 6x more strain to the low back than standing.  When seated, you can promote better posture by sitting at the edge of the seat, preferably with the knees lower than the hips. I also encourage patients to use a lumbar (low back) pillow to sit as if you were"pooching out" your stomach and sticking your chest out. Also, see my "back pain/strain" health guide.

Question 5

how should  i prevent back pain when i stand for a long time?

Accepted Answer

Yoga, et al...: Where is your pain?  Low back pain may be related to poor arch support, and/or poor posture.  Try tilting your pelvis...As if sitting down...Flattening the lumbar curvature of your spine.  Does that relieve it any?  
Yoga can be very useful for fostering body awareness and better posture so that you will understand how shifts in your posture, alignment,  and movement will affect how you feel.

Question 9

how can i prevent back pain from sitting?

Accepted Answer

By limiting sitting: Sitting generates a 4 times  body load across your lower back.  That load is further enhanced by being static in one position.  Sitting in a higher chair like a bar stool will decrease the load.  Having a chair with a higher back and arm supports also will help.  Placing a rolled towel in the small of your back between the chair back can help.  By getting up after 15 to 30 minutes can help

Question 10

how can i get rid of my lower left back pain?

Accepted Answer

Many Possibilities: Depending on how long it's been going on, i would consider an evaluation by a spine specialist.  Sometimes it could be a muscle imbalance, early onset arthritis or scoliosis.  Also could be a pinched nerve/herniated disc.  Either way it might be good to figure it out and get appropriate treatment.
