    Then see a doctor.

    Go to a clinic or urgent care.

    We have no medical training and neither does the internet. We cannot examine, test, diagnose or treat you.

    Pressure on a nerve in your back will carry the pain away from the body and show up when you press on it like that. It happens when there are tight muscles in your back that will press onto the nerve to send the pain. To get rid of the pain you have to free up your back muscles to release the tight ones causing the pain and here's how to free them up:

    Back:

    (do while sitting)

    Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.

    For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
