I’m 17 now and ive had a constant dull ache in my mid and lower back for the last 2 years. The pain seems to come from the muscles right next to the spine.
It’s just a little sore in the morning but progressively gets worse throughout the day. Standing around for more than an hour causes the worst pain. Usually sitting doesn’t help unless i sit completely straight against a soft back. Sitting in school for 6 hours with rock hard chairs is usually a killer.
Usually physical activity like running doesn’t bother it and sometimes makes it feel better. Lifting heavy objects doesn’t bother it at all either. I try to run regularly as it helps with the pain.
I’ve been to physical therapy for back exercises and electric therapy but those have only temporarily stopped the pain for a day or two. Is there anything else i can do? Would seeing a doctor help?
