1. got the same thing, could be sciatica. pinching of the sciatic nerve.mine hurts like hell when it acts up and stretching and exercising my back doesn't help.
look it up and you'll find treatments for it. its actually a symptom.
2. It could be a pulled muscle or a cracked floating rib(unlikely) rest and lie down and keep it supported and warm.
3. Muscle spasm, pinched nerve, spinal stenosis, or a compressed disk(s) among other things.
4. If it's in your lower BACK then it's BACK PAIN, just to clear that up. Any pain, even muscular, in the back is back pain. It sounds like either a muscle spasm or a kidney problem. Either way, go see your Doctor. If it is a spasm or pinched nerve, he or she can give you a muscle relaxant that will help for a few days. Or if it's a kidney stone, for instance, that of course can be treated too. Good luck.
5. It could be a number of things, I'm not a Dr. but if the pain is constant and persists go to your Dr or emerg. It could be as simple as a muscle strain to something as serious and fatal as Appendicitis, use your judgment.
6. If the pain feels worse then anything you have ever felt, and the pain feels as though it is deep within your body, you may have a kidney stone.The pain usually starts in the lower back and continues to move around the lower pelvic area as the stone moves. Drinking cranberry juice will help the stone move more quickly. If the pain does not subside within 4 days, I would definitely go see a doctor.If you do have a stone,it may be too large to pass on its own.
