Hello, larkin851. Thank you for your message.

Low back pain is caused by injury to a muscle (strain) or ligament (sprain). Common causes include improper lifting, poor posture, lack of regular exercise, fracture, ruptured disk, or arthritis. Often, the only symptom is pain in the lower back.

Most low back pain goes away on its own in two to four weeks. Physical therapy and pain relievers can help. A few cases may require surgery.

Treatment for pain can include, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, analgesics, muscle relaxants, and narcotics for severe pain. Alternating ice and heat can help with inflammation and also sooth muscles. If your back pain persists or worsens, see your doctor.
