Pain in the lower back (Lumbar spine) is a common symptom. There are a number of structures in the spine that can produce pain syndromes including the small joints at the back (Facet joints) and the discs at the front.

Typically, episodes of lower back pain can be managed conservatively with simple analgesia and physiotherapy. Talking with a specialist about your back pain and being offered reassurance and an explanation for why it is there can also be helpful.
