I'm 42 female with lower back pain what could it be?

DDD: By far the most common cause of back pain in people in their 30s and 40s is a condition known as degenerative disc disease (DDD). If your symptoms are mild, the pain can improve over time. If it is severe, consider being seen and there are many good nonoperative treatment options.
