Hello,
I have studied your case. It is not common to have back pain at this age. I would recommend you to not to take it lightly and get some investigations done to make sure that you are not having ankylosing spondylitis. For this you need to get:
1.ESR
2.HLA b 27
3. Anti ccp antibody
these tests will inform us if there is any serious issue with your back pain. Ankylosing spondilitis is a condition in which young male suffers from back pain and stiffness.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
