A member asked:
Lower back pain was achy at first. now it is achy with random sharp pains. it is constant rather than intermediate. why did it progress so fast? it has only been a week since the pain started?

One might have strained the back muscles especially those in the Lower Back by Posture, Pulling, Pushing or Lifting Heavy Weight. Best to rest it and since it is more than 24hrs apply warm wet compresses, preferably soaked in Epson salt. Advil or Ibuprofen taken with Food can help; then see the PCP or visit Urgent Care if Symptoms persist
