Back pain is a symptom of a variety of medical conditions, illnesses and injuries. Back pain is due to any of a number of conditions. Sometimes the pain is due to a problem in the spine or supporting muscles, ligaments and tendons. However, back pain can also be due a problem in another part of the body, and people experience what is called referred pain.

Pain can occur in any area of the back too. It may be localized pain, like lower back pain or neck pain, or it may be widespread back pain. The general categories of causes for back pain include:

Back sprain or strain,
Spinal injury to vertebrae or spinal nerves,
Diseases like osteoporosis and disc disease,
Arthritis,
Medical condition like a bladder or kidney infection,
etc
I recommend consulting with a pain management or orthopedic specialist who is specializing and board certified to treat back and spine conditions.
