Lower back pain when sitting down for a bit.what could be causing it when i am only 19 years old?

Possible disc issue: Even at your age especially if there is a family history. Sitting is 4 times your body!s weight across the discs of your lower back. If you do not exercise, start. If you smoke stop. If you are overweight, get your weight under control as all the above play a role in back pain. If the symptoms persist, see your doctor.
