Back pain can have many different degrees of pain from constant pain to sudden sharp twinges that hinder normal movement. Pain and weakness in the specific area can even cause muscle contractures along various parts of the spine which acts as a protective mechanism guarding the body from doing further damage to the affected area. It can occur suddenly and increase in severity over time due to various factors such as a fall or improper lifting.
