Question

Answer 1

Would help to know how old you are?    If you sit a lot....then it could be that you need to get up and walk around for a while...take breaks....Also, it would be a good idea to look at the chair you are sitting in.....does it support your back..and is it soft to take the pressure off of your lower back.   Unless the pain is "sharp" and painful....I would try this first...try adjusting the time you sit...and the type of chair you are sitting in.   If you have sharp pain that you just can't handle...then perhaps it would be time to go see your doctor.    Hope this helps.

It sounds like you have a herniated disc. I had 1 years ago and it was brutally painful. See your doctor right away.
