pain in the back

Hey guys,
I'm 19 years old and from the past one year I'm having severe backaches. It mainly occurs before i get up in the morning from my bed. The pain starts in the lower back and then disappers as time passes. But the pain does'nt go everyday. Sometimes it starts paining in the afternoon too. Any effective remedies please???
 
if you are overweight/big belly WORK OUT NOW! and lose some fat

I had the same problem as a teen, after a year in college, I lost a lot of weight and those lower back pains all disappeared.

Good luck, I hope things get better.
 
Guys,
I do exercise almost everyday and i do sleep on a hard mattress. I use soft pillows too. But my backache keeps getting worse. Should i consult a doctor? Is it a serious problem at this age?
 
Obviously if it is really bad, you should see a doctor.

I started my first full time job last June, and I've had back pains on and off since I started. (I really never had problems before.) I think that it's related to stress. It's amazing how the body reacts to stress.
 
I'm 25 and healthy and excercise and I've had increasing backpain for about 3 years. In the past few months I realized that the root of this - or at least most of it - was sleeping on my stomach. I love to sleep on my stomach but I've recently been forcing myself to stop. I sleep only on back or side and if it's side I make sure that it's not "half side/half stomach". For a while I actually slept on the floor forcing myself to stay on my back. The pain is still there but it is diminishing slowly over time.

When I first stopped sleeping on my stomach though the real peaks of the pain went away almost overnight. I used to have a trouble sitting up and sitting on the crapper in the morning I'd have a nasty low-back pain. That's all gone.

Slouching is a big problem too so I try to get more lumbar support in my chairs, but if you're sleeping on your stomach I'd recommend against it and see if anything happens. I knew I was too young to be having back problems and it was just something I was missing that was causing them...

The way I test for low back pain at any one time is this: Lie on floor and with my knees pointing up (like you're about to do a situp) press my low-back onto the floor so that it's flush with the floor. I can then feel a pain at the base of my spine. This used to be a terrible pain but it is going away.
