Pain in lower back- don't know why?

Question

Yesterday I got a shooting pain in my lower back on the right.

It wasn't severe though.

Then since then it felt slightly like a muscle pain but it's not- I haven't done anything to it.

It feels slightly like period pain in my back. But it's not. (I'm on the pill- can't get my period til next week)

The only thing I can think of is that my stomach felt a bit delicate on Thursday (no diarrhea or anything- just felt funny) That's all I can think it could be linked too...

It's not severe just annoying....

Answer 1

You could indeed have a muscle pull.  You don't have to do anything in particular to pull a muscle.  Try some ibuprofen and a heating pad.  If those help, then it probably was a muscle pull.

Answer 2

well i don't know if this'll help, but i get lower back pains when it's the time of the month.
