Musculoskeletal: Acute back pain in late teenager & that is related to position suggests an acute musculoskeletal sprain. A more uncommon explanation is renal calculus, but this pain is usually constant and excruciating to the max. If feverishness or nauseousness and/ or vomiting is associated then all bets are off and urgent evaluation recommended. Otherwise, see an osteopath. An heating pad useful for sprains.
