Lumbar pain: Hi ChrisB, what you are describing is lumbar pain. It is usually related to back spasms. It tends to loosen up when we are walking but tightens up again when we lay down or sit. It can be extremely uncomfortable and can be associated with sciatica. Get an eval by your doctor, lose weight, strengthen your core, and stay active. If the pain is too much your doctor may prescribe medication.
