Back Pain, Difficulty Sleeping, Feeling Nodules. Applied Hot Water Bottle. Why Am I Suffering?

Hello, I am 31 and I am suffering with back pain . The more I move the better it is but I am finding sleeping difficult as it is so uncomfortable. I am doing more exercise and I have changed the mattress. The pain is coming from my lower back and I can feel grindy nodules. I sometimes put a hot water bottle on my back or a product called biofreeze, this helps sometimes but sometimes not. Why am I suffering with this? Any ideas?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The persistent back pain that you are having is likely to be related to a disc prolapse or a mild protrusion which is an age related degenerative change of the spine. You need to get an MRI scan of your back done and get proper treatment accordingly.
