It is normal for back pain to come and go.
Sometimes back pain is the result of strain of the back or a pulled muscle in the back.
And once the muscle heals up the back pain may go away and not come back until later or when you strain the back again.
Back strains and sprains are the most common cause of back pain.
You can injure muscles, tendons or ligaments by lifting something too heavy or not lifting safely.
Some people strain their back by sneezing, coughing, twisting or bending over.
Most back pain is nothing serious although in some cases back pain may be a result of a serious issue and you should see a doctor or go to the emergency room.
Signs that the back pain may be serious include.
Sudden spike in pain, discomfort, weakness or numbness.
Loss of bladder function.
High fever.
Severe stomach pain.
Unexplainable weight loss.
The pain results from a fall or severe blow to your back.
Most people's back pain dissipates in about a week or two, but if your pain is long-term or chronic, it's time to see a spine specialist."
