Back pain in young: Expect to have back pain. Everyone has it at some point. At age 21, this is not common. Most common causes of pain include injury, stress fracture, disk herniations, and benign tumors. Injury or muscle strains are by far most common and usually respond to ice, rest, anti-inflammatory meds, and time. If not improving then have someone check some x-rays.
