What are the causes of lower back pain in younger people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain in young: Dangerous causes of pain are unlikely in people age 18-50 years. So no immediate need for investigation unless other medical conditions like trauma, infection, immune compromise exist. Or if pain extreme. Most benign pain is tolerable. Most common are disc herniation, stress fracture, muscles. Nsaids, tylenol, (acetaminophen) ice/heat, salonpas hot patches, mckenzie pt or pilates/yoga/piyo are great options.
