Do cross training ellipitcal machines cause lower back pain that spreads around the lower abdomen?

Just started working out after not working out for about 8 months. Only two days. But I have some pain in lower back and to the left and right of my belly. Has anyone else had pain (aching) after using these machines? I used them all the time years ago with no pain. Maybe I'm just getting old. Thanks.

1. i've got a ski machine that kills my back.
i have to use it like 15min. and take a short break.
my quess would be since neither my ski machine nor an ellpitical machine are the way we normally move that they will stress the muscles that aren't use to being used in those motions.
i've used ellipitcals at the gym and i personally hate the motion.
i bike and lift weights and have no problems with those causing pain.
