It could be kidney stones. I had them, and my lower back hurt really bad. but i also felt really sick to my stomach. does it feel like muscle pain, or organs? you should go to the ER or call a doctor. especially if its stabbing or persistant pain. they might be able to help you over the phone. good luck.
……u slept on it wrong…. u wouldnt remember it… DUH
i looked this up a couple months ago. i read that sometimes lower back pain can mean something is wrong in your kidneys. its really hard for doctors to pinpoint the problem because of all that it can be. look at this site. it explains alot http://www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/tl…
Could be a kidney infection. Are you visiting the bathroom alot or does it hurt to pee? Do you feel nauseaus? If so, go to a clinic or your doctor.
Possibly you are laying wrong in bed, or rolled over in your sleep into a poor position for a while? Try going to sleep while laying on your left side in the slight fetal position. This is the best way for your body to rest and recover from the day’s activities, unless otherweise advised by your physician. Try to remember good posture throughout the day, and give your body some relaxing stretches in the morning or evening. Pilates and yoga are great. At your age it could be something as simple as a growing pain. If it persists though, make sure you get yourself to the doctor, especially if it comes with any fever, nausea, sweats, headaches, etc… Good luck!
Heating Pad until you can get to the DR…probably just slept on it wrong and pinched a nerve or strained a muscle. Take anti-inflammatory….like ibuprofen
I recommend putting ice on the painful area and take some pain relievers such as acetaminophen, but since you said it didn’t work. So my only suggestion is to ask a doctor about this problem.
Back strain.
The fact that the pain is on one side only of your back could indicate you have a problem with your kidney on that side. You need to see a doctor to rule that out. He will probably do a urine test along with an exam of your back. I wish you well.

You might want to see the doctor for this, you have taken pain killers and it still hurts so its obviously pretty bad. It could be a pinched nerve. If you can, try to lie down on the floor and put your legs up on something (chair), supported under your knees. dont force it, if it hurts terribly DONT DO THIS as it may cause further damage. Stay there for half an hour.This can stretch the vertebrae apart and release the trapped nerve. good luck, back pain is a horrible thing
Take a hot shower to warm the muscles,then-this works for me sometimes-after that, (with the muscle s looser). lay on your back. flat-no pillow, cross your legs at the ankles, then flex your butt/lower back area. you want to pop your lower back. good luck
If you are rich like me then go to a spa, duh!
