check out the S-factor campaign for inflammatory arthritis: nass.co.uk/campaigning/have...

Not sure how old you are, but unexplained (non-injury) back pain in a young adult that either recurs without real reason, or lasts three months or more, could be inflammatory arthritis. If you tick the boxes for inflammatory back pain (see that link for more detail), then ask your GP for a referral to a rheumatologist.

If you don't tick those boxes, then poor posture would be the next likely thing. You might want to see a physio for core strengthening exercises, check the ergonomics of your workplace, especially if you sit a lot of the day, etc.

Hypermobility? Very undiagnosed. Be careful with exercises!

Don't know what you mean by unexplained reasons?

Muscle spasms coming out of the blue will cause the pain you have. The older one gets the more likely you are to get pain from muscle spasms that decide to occur for no reason what soever.

Worth taking up yoga to ensure that you keep muscles nice and flexible.

Hope this helps.

Nothing to do with spasms

[johnsmith in reply to Hidden]

Not sure what you mean. Muscle spasms have nothing to do with the issue or you have something else such as a diagnosis.

Muscle spasms can be large or small. Small muscle spasms which are not easy to find, unless you know what you are looking for, can cause pain and discomfort.

My chiropractor has demonstrated to me several times how a small muscle spasm has caused bone ache. The bone ache disappearing when the muscle spasm has been unspasmed.

If you have a health disability damage already the lack of room can result in pain and discomfort from quite small muscle spasms as tissue and nerves are compressed. Removing the muscle spasms will reduce the pain and discomfort present.

Of course you could have a bad dose of flue or cold causing the problem or something else.
