I am only 21 years old and I have been experiencing sharp pain in the mid point of my back, right next to my spine, for the past few weeks. Usually it doesn’t hurt but when I move at certain angles I have sharp pain in just that small area of my back alone, it isn’t constant though. What could be causing this pain?

hi
if its a localised pain, occurs occassionaly and hurts after moving then it seems to be a muscular pain. you may have strained the muscles in that region causing inflammation of the muscle tissue. take anti inflammatory ,analgesic tablets,local gel and hot fomentation.
if unrelieved, get an xray / mri done.
thanks
Hi
this could be a muscle spasm due to any effort of air current,if you havent recently strained your muscles or carried something heavy(in this case it would be a strain)… then you should only use hot packs over it for a few days and get someone massage it … if pain persists after that you can see a chiropractor to adjust your spines and your back muscles…
Let Me know if you have any progression.
HI
IT SEEMS TO BE FIBROMYOSITIS MEANING INFLAMMATION OF THE TENDINOUS PART OF MUSCLE TUSSUE WHERE IT ATTACHES TO BONE. PAIN KILLER TABLETS SHOULD REDUCE THE PAIN. A LOCAL STEROID INJECTION WILL BE NEEDED IF PAIN WORSENS
