Lower back hurting
Hey im a 20 year old female. I've noticed lately that my lower back has been hurting and just been uncomfortable lately. Mainly the right side more than the left. I haven't done anything unusual or out of the ordinary. My job requires me to be on my feet all the time but doesnt require any lifting. Just wondering if anybody has any idea whats going on or if this has happened to you. Thanks for your advice i do rate.

If you were high heeled shoes they are the most likely culprit. Try switching to a shoe with a lower and wider heel or flats.
Ask most any Orthopedist and they will tell you we were never meant to stand erect and because of this we all to some degree suffer from lower back pain. Standing on concrete seems to increase the level of pain in most of us so you might try, if possible putting some padding under you if possible.
If switching to flats does not help you should see a Orthopedist or Chiropractor. A massage therapist or a physical therapist should also be able to help relieve the pain. I would start with the Orthopedic doctor first and get some x rays or MIR studies to make sure there is no nerve involvement then go form there.

There could be some fatigue there. Maybe the way your heels make you stand hurts your back? I don't know. Try flats for the next few days and see if that helps. Either that or you tweeked it while sleeping.
Anyway, if it doesn't clear up in a few days, see a neurologist. I've tweaked my hip flexor while sleeping. Some times weird stuff like that happens.

I'm not sure if this will help at all... but i recently just had 2 stress fractures in my lower back. I got it from cheerleading though so if you don't remember doing anything i am not sure! try heat and ice and also stretching!!! hope this helps at least some! good luck!
