Keep a movin: Of course the most common thing it could be would be just your usual low back pain. You should never rest in bed for more than the first 24 hours. After that, you walk, work and live through the pain being as active as you can with the help of ibuprofen or similar med. If it doesn't go away, you should probably see a doctor to consider other possibilities.

So I have an issue. Some of the back teeth in my lower jaw on the left side hurts if I chew down on food or if I brush my tongue on it. It happens for a day, stops for a few weeks, then picks back up. It's not a sharp pain, more like a dull pinching pain.
