A member asked:

Right side severe back pain on rest 2 on 10 bt on movement 8 on 10. disturbed sleep due to pain. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably muscle pain: At the age of 18 severe back pain is probably musculoskeletal. You could try ice, heat, and motrin or aleve (naproxen). If the pain is not resolved in a day or two and you are still having so much pain that you can not sleep you need to see your physician. Also if you are having severe back pain with numbness, weakness, incontinence or fevers you need to go to the emergency department right away (at any age)
