Back pain: Increased pain while sitting on the floor without back support is most likely muscular. It could be the sacroiliac joint as well. Disc herniation can also cause pain while sitting but is usually midline and not to one side. Try using lumbar support or simply a pillow behind the lower back. Change position frequently whenever possible.
