1st get an MRI: The first thing to do is have your doctor order an mri. This one test will give the most information as to why your back hurts and if there is a potential cure. For simple back pain the best thing is low back strengthening exercises i recommend going to: http://backpainphysicaltherapy.Net/back-pain-exercises-2/ ... These are the most useful .. But don't hurt your self. When in doubt ask the doc.

See a specialst: I am troubled when a patient asks me to get an MRI off the bat. Lets see if we can diagnose on physical exam, then maybe an MRI is in order. However i like to determine if the patient is willing to treat based on the MRI result. If not, then why do the test.
