I bet its a kidney problem. I had that about a week ago, hurt sooo bad. do you have these syntoms.

1. Frequently having to go to the bathroom
2. When you go to the bathroom and you're all done, does it feel like you have to go more, but you dont?
3. Lower back problems
4. hurting when you go pee.

if you had these syntoms, dont wait, go to the doctor right away! I waited because i thought that it was just like i twisted somthing in my back or slept funny and i suffered.

This could be a sign your period is coming soon or something completely different. Have you done any kind of exercise u haven't done b4 ? Some foods can cause kidneys to hurt and that makes ur lower back ache. Kidneys clean our blood out so are you on any medication that u weren't on before the pain ? I have back pain but then I've had SURGERY so I know why but ur in the dark here. If this pain continues for say another week go to your doctor and he/she will run some blood tests etc to make sure all is normal. Ask for a full physical as they don't seem to do them anymore unless u ask, not like years ago when ur doctor really listened and always took ur temp, blood pressure and check ur chest and breathing with their stethoscope, now u must ask for any of these unless you have a great old fashioned family doctor. Good luck and I'm sure things should be fine. Take care.

Your lower back could be hurting for a number of reasons. Do you work a lot or lift things a lot? Try this. Get a towel, dampen it a little and pop it in the microwave for ever how long it warm enough for your comfort level. Then lay down and put the towel under your lower back. It will loosen the muscles and might take some pain away. Just make sure you watch how you lift things if you are. Don't lift with your back. Lift with your legs and hold boxes or whatever you lift close to your body. good luck..

This lower back pain can be an indication that your first period is coming soon (an example only). Some women do get a bit of cramping about a week or two before the actual period starts.

I would recommend letting your mom know what's going on as well so that she can help you keep an eye on the situation.

Ice can help pretty well, especially when you alternate with heat. Ice for 20 mins., then after an hour heat for 30 mins. if needed. Periods don't normally hurt this much. We need more details from you. Where in the back does it hurt? What were you doing when it started hurting? What is relieving the pain, even if it's a little bit.
