Back pain that lasts for a week?!


Question: Back pain that lasts for a week?
I have a quick question regarding back pain.
My mom has these frequent back pain that lasts anywhere up to 3 days to 1 week.
She assumes that its caused by her bad posture, as she often surfs internet lying down on her belly in bed.

Could anything be serious? I just dont think it should last up to 1 week.
She said her pain is generally around her hip, and sometimes a quick sharping pain shoots up and dissapears. Any idea if this could be serious?
Thanks,

Answers:

I'm an orthopedic surgeon and it is perfectly normal for someone to experience back pain due to bad posture and from the position that she lays while on her computer. My recommendation is for her to go on google and look up some strengthening exercises for her back, that should help alot. Also she needs to stop with the bad posture. She needs to sit up right, and stand right. She also needs to stop with her current laying position. If she does the following things above that I mentioned, her pain should be completely resolved. If it is not resolved within three weeks she needs to visit a doctor. With all due regards, Bev.

I'm an orthopaedic surgeon with a medical degree. I know what I'm talking about. Have a good day.
