## More about Back and lower back

Back pain most often comes from the muscles and joints of the spine, and for most people it eases with movement, exercise and time.

Back pain differs by location and cause. Low in the back, it’s usually muscular, after sitting for a long time or lifting. When it runs down the leg, an irritated nerve is more likely. In the upper back, tight muscles between the shoulder blades are the most common cause.
