I have suffering lower back pain. Its like genetic in our family. My brothers and father have that too. Nowadays, its not bearable. It pains after I sit for even an hour. And sometimes even after a 15 min walk. What should I do, what doctor should I consult to.

Kindly do these exercises. Back pain is described as acute or chronic based on how long you?ve had it. Acute pain lasts days to weeks, subacute pain lasts six weeks to three months, and chronic pain lasts longer than three months. Things that make it better or worse back pain may get worse with movement or if you sit or stand for a long time. It may get better if you switch positions or walk around. Other symptoms you may experience with back pain include: ?the painful spot looking swollen and feeling tender to the touch ?a muscle spasm in the painful area ?numbness or weakness in one or both of your legs (if the pain is due to a nerve issue) if you find you have back pain and can?t hold your urine or bowel movements, something is pressing on your spinal nerves, and you should be evaluated immediately. This condition, called cauda equina syndrome, can cause severe long-term damage to your spinal nerves if not treated right away. 6 imbalances that cause pain?and how to fix them "pain is a medical condition and a medical issue, says brett jones, owner of applied strength in pittsburgh who is certified for the functional movement screen, a system of tests and cor rective exercise strategies. "it's a warning sign. The pain is there to tell you something's wrong. And that warning sign could be more serious than "you're going too hard. Jones and the other coaches consulted for this piece all had a horror story to tell-when pain in a client meant a more serious condition such as a nerve issue, thyroid issue, or even cancer. The point: if you experience regular pain while exercising-or when you're not-go to the doctor. If you've been cleared by a doc and you're still feeling discomfort, try these simple tests to see what's truly causing the pain-it could be related to an imbalance in a completely different part of your body. The good news: with these drills, stretches, and corrective exercises, you may be able to fix them-no doctors necessary.
