Back pain can range from a dull, persistent ache to sharp, sudden sensations that make moving difficult. Whether it is (lasting less than six weeks) or chronic (more than 12 weeks), managing it effectively often involves staying active rather than relying on bed rest. Describing Your Pain
: Often related to muscle strain or minor injuries.
: Can indicate sudden trauma or nerve issues.
: Pain that travels down the legs (sciatica) may suggest a disc-related problem.
