Lower back pain?!
Question:
Lower back pain?
I've been having lower back pain for almost half year now. I work at office and i sit all the time I think that's what caused it. it used to be bad, when i bend over backward it hurts and comes with burning sensation and sometimes sharp pain. I started to exercise more and now i can bend my body without hurting. it's just that i still can't sit too long or i'll feel burning sensation, there are times if it gets bad i'd feel like i want to throw up.
can my pain go away if i simply stay active more? or do i need to seek for medical treatment because of the abnormal characteristics such as burning sensation or sharp pain?
my legs are fine, i dont feel numb or anything on my leg. just back pain and right shoulder pain from using the mouse.

I had the same thing when I was a telephone operator back in the 1970's...(yeah, I'm an older guy!!)..went to a chiropractor, they took x-rays, and I had curavture of the spine (scoliosis)...so went for treatments...do not mess around with this!! chiropractic is the only thing that will help you long term..most insurances will cover it, if you look into it...
