Low back pain.?
I have low back pain that is exactly where your back ends and butt begins. It is generally to the right or left of my spine by half an inch the pain is unbearable while I lay on my back. It is only better while standing/walking or while laying on my stomach. The pain is a deep deep burning ache. I can only describe it as feeling like a very tender bruise. I am going to give some quick details to save time.
*NEVER had an injury before to my back.
*It's not a muscle (1+ years ongoing)
*I have tried a hot bath and otc pain medication.
*90% sure it's not sciatica, no pain in legs.
*Again it's 98% when I lay down.
THanks in advance, also I do not have insurance so it's not so easy to just go to the doctor. I'd appreciate ANY help or ideas

I cured my sciatica with this natural treatment ( http://cure-sciatica.info/ )
Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication
I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.
I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica.

Could be a pinched nerve or a pulled muscle. Try ice if that doesn't help try a hot shower or heating pad if you have one.
Many people get back pain from lifting with their back and not legs. As well as overuse of the back.
