Suggest Treatment For Back Pain After Walking For Some Time

I am 18 and I get terrible back ache after standing up or walking around for only a few hours. It is in the middle of my back and it gets better once I have rested it. Should I be getting pain this bad at my age? I am 5ft 3 and 8 stone so not overweight. What could it be?

Hi,
Having this type of back pain at this age indicates lack of physical exercise.
go for daily physical exercise like running, jogging, swimming etc daily for 30-35 minutes a day for 5days in a week.
Develop some interest in sports.
Take high protein diet.
Ok and take care.
