3. Back pain that is sharp and stabbing, like being pricked by needles.

4. Back pain radiating down the legs, or leg weakness that makes walking difficult, or pain occurs after walking only a short distance.

5. Pain in the tailbone area that is not caused by an accident.

6. Painful or difficult urination, cloudy urine, or fever accompanied by lumbar back pain (this may be an early symptom of kidney stones or kidney inflammation).

If the cause of your back pain cannot be identified and the spinal pain persists for more than 6 weeks, you should consult a doctor for a thorough examination to determine the true cause and address the problem at its root. Taking muscle relaxants or applying topical pain relievers may not improve the condition if the underlying cause is unknown.
