Answer: Hi Jesse 

How old are you How would you describe this pain burning sensation or throbbing Is it more on your lower back or on your flanks the sides Do you feel pain when you touch your waist Is there any history of trauma or fall or an attempt to lift a heavy object prior to the pain Any associated pain to other parts of your body eg legs Any associated feeling of numbness cramping spasms or weakness in your waist legs or other body parts Any history of fever weight loss or problems urinating or going to the toilet prior to the pain immediately it started or presently 

Low back pain waist pain have varying causes most often musculoskeletal issues which arise from poor posture and improper lifting of heavy objects while sometimes its something much more serious Meanwhile over the counter medications for pain muscle relaxants and slowlight stretching and massage has been known to relieve symptoms and help with pain management
