Sharp back pain: needs to be evaluated by your doctor. if he/she rules out medical condition it is likely from long car rides. Exercises can be prescribed to help you stretch and relax your muscles. Peace and good health.

Hello, I want to figure out if this is a problem that needs to be checked out. During this weekend we took a road trip, each leg driving was about 6hrs and the ride back took us about 13hrs. Each time after some time riding in the car I feel bladder pain.
