Below: You will need a medical exam to determine the etiology of pain. There are many possibilities, and without exam, guessing would not be wise.

Back pain! : You and approximately 40 million other Americans have low back pain. Try NSAIDs and PT and bed rest and that frequently works. If that doesn't work consider adding muscle relaxants. If that doesn't work try a physiatrist. If someone suggests surgery, BEWARE!
