What is wrong with my lower back?

Question

I've always felt some stiffness and pain from the left side of my lower back like when I wake up or exercising. Today at football practice I was running and right when I stop and slowed down I felt a sharp pain in the left side. I don't know what it is or why it's like that. Also when I stand for a long time it starts hurting. I'm only 17 years old.

Answer 1

even though you are young  by mentioning you play football you have a love of a sport that is hard on your body. sounds like a disc and/or pinched nerve. i have similar issues and i've been to the chiro. i would suggest the same
