What could make your lower back hurt?

Answer 1

There are so many things that cause low Back pain... You can have a bulging --or herniated--disc... the discs between each vertebra have nerves in them, and the stretching can cause a lot of deep central (middle back) pain. You can have muscle spasms from lifting something too heavy and injuring a muscle (there are a LOT of muscles in your back). Your kidneys are just under the bottom row of ribs... in the flank area... Rarely something in a kidney can give you back pain (a kidney stone would give you back pain AND pain going into your groin). Hope this helps... Perhaps if you told me more...

Answer 2

Mechanical overuse is the most common reason. If this is the case you should rest your back for no more than 48hours and then do gentle exercises. Working on getting a six-pack of abs is the best way to cure lower back pain. It can also be due to infections in the kidneys in which case you need to see a doctor. (I'm a doctor)
