Why do I have back pain when sitting?

Raphaela889

For the past few weeks, every time I sit down, I get a pain in my lower back. It's not a sharp pain, but more of a dull ache. I'm not sure what could be causing it.

There are a few reasons why your back might hurt every time you sit. It could be a sign of a muscle strain, poor posture, a herniated disc, or arthritis. If the pain is severe, it's best to see a doctor to rule out any serious conditions. Muscle strains and poor posture can usually be fixed with some simple lifestyle changes. However, if you have a herniated disc or arthritis, you may need to see a specialist for treatment.

One possible reason why your back hurts every time you sit may be due to a condition called spondylosis. Spondylosis is a degenerative condition of the spine in which the vertebrae and discs become damaged. This can lead to the development of bone spurs, which can press on nerves and cause pain. Spondylosis is more common in older adults, but it can occur at any age. Another possible reason for your back pain may be due to poor posture or improper ergonomics while sitting. Poor posture puts unnecessary stress on the spine, which can lead to pain. Improper ergonomics, such as sitting in a chair that is too low or too high, can also cause back pain. If you suspect that either of these things may be causing your back pain, you should see a doctor or chiropractor for an evaluation.
