I know it’s a joke " oh haha you’re 30, everything hurts now cuz you’re so old!" But really, is something wrong with me or are backs just this stupid? Not overweight. Decently active although I don’t exersize every single day. No genetic issues, doctor always says im in perfect health. But my lower back will randomly act up, sometimes it gets so bad that I about black out from the pain. Thats pretty rare though, usually it’s just an ache all day when I move or try to put my socks on. Its not sciatica, as I never feel numbness or pain in my legs. Mild weakness maybe if it hurts really bad.
I feel like any doctor is just going to say welp, you’re old it happens, or tell me I need 3.5 million dollar spinal surgery.
A doctor will order scans of the area to see if there’s anything obvious requiring surgery, otherwise a physio or similar should be able to provide you some exercises to strengthen the body. You could probably just take yoga, pilates or calisthenics classes as long as you don’t exacerbate things.
You don’t mention doing any exercise.
