Have it evaluated: While it can be a mechanical issue, young males with back pain may have an inflammatory arthritis (ankylosing spondylitis) as the cause.

Hi, I've had lower back pain for a few years and recently got an MRI after the pain had started to increase. The diagnosis is a disc bulge in the L4/L5 area. I'm a triathlete and the back pain hinders my performance. It also hurts to sit for long periods
