Lower right-side back pain?
Within the past couple of days I've been getting this pain on the right side in my lower back, right above my pants line. If you divide my back into halves from my spine to my right side, it's right in the middle of that. I notice it mainly when I sit, especially when I drive. When I can majorly feel it, it's like a throbbing pain (like it pulsates)
I'm only 17.
I dance and figure skate, so it might be something from that? My hips always hurt from those, so is it relative with that?

1. Lower back pain is caused by pinched muscles. Pinched muscles in the lower back can press onto the nerves going to your hips to cause pains to happen there. To get rid of your back and hip pains you have to free up the muscles in your back and here's how to do that:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
2. You are correct when assuming that your daily activities may lead to back pain. The real cause is from muscle imbalances in the body that can come about from repetitious activities.
Chances are, you have never heard of muscle imbalances and worse you don't even know that your own muscles are out of balance. But the reality is that everyone has muscle imbalances to some degree - regardless of age, sex, or level of fitness. No one is perfect. And even if you did manage to achieve perfection, you could not stay there for long.
In simple terms, a muscle imbalance occurs when you have overdeveloped and tight muscles in one area of your body while the opposing muscles are weak and stretched out of their normal position. These imbalances can happen anywhere on the body and often develop as the result of the routine things you do while on the job, playing sports, or engaging in other activities you enjoy.
As your muscles get more and more out of balance, you end up pulling your self out of proper alignment thus producing uneven more stress and causing additional wear and tear on muscles, ligaments, joints, and even the spine.
Almost all of us live our lives with chronic unrecognized muscular imbalances and while it does take time for muscle imbalances to cause a symptomatic condition the first signs of trouble are evident on our bodies in the form of "postural dysfunctions". Postural dysfunction can be seen in the abnormal position on the pelvis, head, neck, shoulder and even in the curvature of the spine.
Once a postural dysfunction has developed, your body cannot go on for long this way before you will begin to experience problems. That is why you should never just cover up the pain or put off addressing your condition. In other words, if you are in your 40s, don't wait until you're 60's to decide you have a problem.
So, simply put, you need to find out which imbalance(s) you may have and then correct them with the appropriate exercises and stretches.
