Dr. Wang:

It’s very common to get back pain and so, if you have been lifting heavy objects or moving into a new house and you get some back pain, it’s probably not a big deal, but if it persists, if it goes on for more than a week or two and it gets worse and it’s not getting better, you should definitely see a health care professional.
