Many people have pain in different areas of their body including their lower back. There's a variety of medical issues that can cause pain. Many type of lower back pain are caused by injury and generally do not last long. An acute condition is when pain erupts from your back that is sudden and usually related to an injury in the lower back. When the back is tight, overstretching it cause acute pain. A sprain or strain in your lower back happens when you damage muscles, tendons or ligaments in your lower back. There is usually a dull aching pain, and sharp pain when moving about. You can relieve the pain by lying in a prone position and apply ice or heat.

On-going long term pain can be due to several conditions. The discs are jelly-like sacs filled with fluid that help to cushion the vertebrae. Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are two of the top reasons pain develops in the lower back for the aged. Pain sensations can be sharp or a continual dull ache. A chronic condition involving pain needs to be treated, so you can live a more productive life.

Taking care of yourself is a necessity if you want to live an active and pain-free life. An unnatural sleeping position does the same pulling on your lower back that poor posture does while you're awake.
