See Doctor: Many things can cause acute back pain. Kidney stones are very common, but other conditions can also cause acute back pain. Herniated discs can also cause this. In persons older than 55 aortic aneurysms must also be considered as a cause of back pain. They can occur without abdominal pain, and are life threatening. Go to urgent care or emergency department immediately.
