Back pain: There are many different reasons why one could have back pain and the treatments vary. I recommend trying ice or an anti-inflammatory. If necessary (the pain doesn't dissipate) then seek out a physiatrist to determine the cause and recommend the appropriate treatment.

Back pain in young: Young patients rarely need further evaluation for back pain as it is usually self-limiting. For mild symptoms, muscle pains are most common. Consider also disc herniation which may cause pain without sciatica. Stress fracture occurs in 5% of the population without any symptoms. If symptoms persist, then see your doc for a more specific evaluation.

Varies: It could potentially be related to a degenerative condition in the spine. I would not hesitate to be seen.
