Yes: Walking usually is beneficial for low back pain but may in some people make it worse especially if you over-do things. Anti-inflammatories such as Ibuprofen and gentle exercises such as walking frequently help solve this problem, however, in some cases more advanced medications such as Gabapentin or even surgery are required. I hope you are feeling better! see your doc.

Pinched Nerve/Muscle: Most times back pain that is sudden onset will resolve. He should use anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen, aleve around the clock and even tylenol (acetaminophen) to help. If this does not resolve he should see his doctor for a muscle relaxant as well. If it still does not resolve, i would recommend him to see a spine specialist for a full evaluation and testing. He may need to get an MRI to see inside.
