Guess it is the best that you go to see a doctor. The lower back pain causes by many reasons. It hard to say by only some descriptions.

Welcome to EmpowHER.  Here is a list of some of the causes for lower back pain.

 

  • Any kind of injury to the back muscles or ligaments or joints
  • Muscle strain or imbalance in muscles
  • The compression of the sciatic nerve, or the sciatica
  • Ruptured or herniated disc
