Hi Kndriv,

Welcome back!  Some of the causes for lower back pain can be.Injury or overuse of muscles, ligaments, and joints. Pressure on nerve roots in the spinal canal. Caused by: 

  • A herniated disc, sometimes brought on by repeated vibration or motion (as during sport activity or when using a machine or lifting in the wrong way) or by a sudden heavy strain or increased pressure to the lower back.
  • Osteoarthritis, usually caused by getting older. When osteoarthritis affects the small joints in the spine, it can lead to back pain. Osteoarthritis in other joints, such as the hips, can cause you to limp or to change the way you walk. This can also lead to back pain.
  • Spondylolisthesis, a defect that allows one vertebra to slide over another.
  • Spinal stenosis, or narrowing of the spinal canal, which is usually caused by getting older.
  • Fractures of the vertebrae caused by a lot of force, such as from an auto or bicycle accident, a direct blow to the spine, or compressing the spine by falling onto the buttocks or head.
  • Spinal deformities, including curvature problems such as severe scoliosis or kyphosis.
  • Spinal tumors, which are growths on the bones and ligaments of the spine, on the spinal cord, or on nerve roots.

 It's important to see your doctor, he can diagnose the cause of your lower pain.
