Back pain includes any discomfort you feel in your back. The pain may range from a dull aching sensation to severe pain that makes getting out of bed impossible.
There are two types of back pain: acute and chronic.
Acute back pain is a short-term pain condition resulting from an injury or accident that lasts anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Most back pain is acute.
Chronic back pain refers to back pain that lasts 12 or more weeks. This type of pain may develop after your acute back pain injury heals or from an underlying degenerative condition.
