Lower back pain…what does it mean?
For a little over 3 weeks, my lower back has been hurting. I get backaches now and again (I clean an elementary school and do bending and lifting) but never anything this long-lasting. It hurts the most when I am sitting down. It’s okay when I stand, and it feels the best when I’m lying down. I finally went to a Chiropractor (even though I don’t exactly believe they can help) but that didn’t do any good. So I’m wondering what else I can do, and particularly if there is anything that CAUSES this kind of pain often. If the Chiro didn’t help, does that mean it’s in the muscles? Any help would be great.

With lower back pain it could be a variety of problems. Since it hurts the most when you sit, it sounds like it could be the SI joint or sciatic nerve area. If the pain continues and aleve or something like that doesn’t help, I suggest you see a Doctor not a chiropractor. Only because if it is something serious, chiropractic adjustments may make it worse. Try alternating heat and cold when you are at rest and see if that helps some.
