Answer
Dear Nes,

41 is not old.  There typically are causes for lower back pain, the most common of which are mechanical issues. These include joint fixation, muscle tightness/spasm, postural issues, etc.  You need to consult with a local chiropractor and/or MD.  An MD typically will not be the good choice for treatment, but they are a better choice for ruling out more severe medical condtions.  The chiropractor is typically better for treatment of your back pain.

Good luck,
