What is causing my lower-back pain, especially after sitting?


What is causing my lower-back pain, especially after sitting?My lower back has been hurting me almost constantly for the past several months. It has gotten to the point that I avoid sitting down whenever and however possible. I can only get on the computer by lying slightly reclined on my bed and using my laptop. Some days are better or worse than others, but the pain persists. The only other symptom I have is that I am rather stiff all over when I wake up in the mornings. I walk like Frankenstein for about 15 to 30 minutes, and then I can walk more normally, even though my lower-back still hurts. Bloodwork is inconclusive, and so for the doctors haven't been able to figure out what is going on with me. Can someone help?

sit straight, straighten ur spine

Sitting causes it, period! I get the same thing, to the point that I can't even stand up straight at first. Walking helps. Even if it hurts to walk, I keep going and after a few blocks the pain goes away. It only comes back if I skip walking for a few days.

a chiropractor can help too.

Start getting a chair with a straight back. Or get a masseuse.
(to massage your back)

This has been happening to me as well. Try to spend less time sitting down and stretch your legs by going for a walk. It is possible that you are slouching.

it is probably poor posture, slumping is hard on the back. i would reccomend getting a chair that encourages proper spine allignment, you can also get what's called lumbar rolls, which you can use in chairs, and help maintain proper spine alignment. i would also reccomend a mattress that is geared at maintaining proper back alignment during sleep. You need a firm mattress surface.
