Definitely go to your Dr. and have it checked. An awful lot of arthritis, especially oseoarthristis (sp) can start in your lower back. You don't have to be old to get arthristis anymore. Don't wait too long.

I actually had arthritis in one of my hips when I was 6 years old and was told it would probably come back in the other hip before I was 18. It didn't, but now I'm worried! I guess I'll try to get to a doctor in the next couple of weeks.

My husband has rhuematoid arthritis and he caught it early enough that it is now in remisson. He still has to take meds to keep it there, but it's working. Don't mask it with pain killers or anything else until you have a firm diagnosis as to what it is. I would go to your Dr. as soon as he can get you in and find out if indeed that is what it is or something else.

I thought before that I may have just put something out of place or stretched a muscle or something... I was on a pubcrawl in March and there was some alcohol involved and some guy decided he was strong enough to benchpress me between leaving the bar and getting back on the bus. I agreed but I guess his balance wasn't great because after lifting me up, he dropped me on the pavement, back-first. That's where the whole situation started, but I'm too embarassed to relay that to a doctor!

You need to tell the Dr everything. When I had to go to the ER I was embarassed to tell them that I was showing my son how to do a cartwheel. I pulled a muscle from the back of my ankle all the way up to my butt! They've heard and seen it all!!

I've dealt with back issues for years. Us humans don't treat our backs with dignity at all, LOL. We lift heavy things incorrectly, we don't sit with correct posture, all our stresses seem to lie in our back/neck, and the list goes on.

Simple things from warm baths, massages, pain relievers, exercizes, doctor visits, etc can all give relief.

Wish you well.
