What can cause sudden back pains?

Question

For the last 24 hours, my back has been very uncomfortable. I don't know if it comes from the way I lay in the bed the past few days. It's uncomfortable and I'm kind of worried. I've never experienced this before. I have not had any accidents. I'm only 26 and I'm in decent health. Should I go to the doctor or is there something I can take?

Answer 1

Yeah. You might have a pinched nerve. They can give you a shot in your back or some medicine. Aleve helps too in for now.

Answer 2

You are probably just out of balance.. there are a couple simple exercises you can try on the website to get you feeling better. Go to www.egoscue.com and find the two exercises for back pain. Let me know if it helps.

Answer 3

try sleeping on your back for a few hours with a firm pillow under you, i assume its lower back

it usually helps me...

use "Doans" back pain medicine its really strong and bad on the stromach (don use if u have had an ulcer recently) but does amazing for relief

Answer 4

Go to the doctor ....NOW!!

The operative word is sudden.

While muscle strains and such do cause back pain  the fact that this came on suddenly and that you had no physical exertion to connect the pain to tells me that it could be caused by other things including something as potentially deadly as an abdominal aortic aneurysm

Things like kidney stones and a whole list of GI conditions could also  be the  cause

Good luck
