Lumbar strain: It is likely that you have strained your lower back. This occurs as a result stretching the ligaments and muscles of your spine beyond their limit causing acute pain. Treatment should consist of icing for the first 72 hours at 4-6 hour intervals when awake, using anti- inflammatory meds, avoidance of heavy lifting, bending, and squatting.. Physical therapy can also be recommended. Good luck!

Sharp intervals of pain in the left lower to middle back area. The pain only lasts a few seconds. When I move in a certain way or sit down sometimes just randomly. The pain feels deep like in an organ or muscle thats not the surface where I can rub.
