Back pain is very common. It usually develops due to overuse or a minor injury that may have been caused, but sometimes there may be no obvious cause. However, there is not always an obvious cause for your back pain, and at times it can get better on its own with rest and hot or cold therapy as well as over-the-counter pain relievers and gentle stretching. If the at-home remedies do not help it is highly recommended that you visit a doctor for your lower back pain, especially if it is becoming severe, or if there are other concerning symptoms like tingling or numbness down the legs. It is highly recommended to seek immediate medical attention if you are dealing with any of the following symptoms: - Issues walking or moving the legs - Loss of bowel movements or bladder functions - Loss of sensation in the legs - Severe pain
