A strain or sprain usually occurs when a muscle or ligament is overstretched due to strenuous physical activity, lifting heavy objects incorrectly, or an injury. Sufferers will recover quickly if they rest, apply ice, and use over-the-counter pain relievers, according to the US health website Healthline .

In addition, there are some other causes that people with lower back pain should not ignore:
Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, often due to a herniated disc or bone spur. The pain typically starts in the lower back and radiates down the buttocks, thighs, and legs — usually affecting only one side of the body. Common symptoms of sciatica include sharp pain, numbness, or weakness in the leg muscles. Treatments include physical therapy, pain medications, and sometimes surgery.
Sacroiliac joint pain can cause lower back pain.
The sacroiliac joint connects the pelvis to the spine. Inflammation or dysfunction of this joint can cause pain in the lower left back, radiating down the buttocks and thighs. It is most commonly caused by injury, arthritis, or pregnancy.
Symptoms are often worse when standing for long periods or climbing stairs. Depending on the patient's condition, the doctor may apply physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs or steroid injections.
Spinal disc herniation
A herniated disc occurs when the nucleus pulposus inside the disc slips out of its natural position and presses on the surrounding nerves. The result is lower left back pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs.
Enteritis
Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, can cause pain in the lower left back due to inflammation of the colon. If it is inflammatory bowel disease, in addition to abdominal pain, the main symptom is diarrhea, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss
Pancreatitis
The pancreas is an endocrine organ located deep inside the abdomen, behind the stomach. It extends across the upper part of the abdomen, from behind the stomach to the duodenum.
Like many other organs, the pancreas can become infected. Pancreatitis causes pain in the upper abdomen that radiates to the lower left back. Possible causes of pancreatitis include gallstones, excessive alcohol consumption, or infection. People should go to the hospital as soon as possible if they experience severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever, according to Healthline .
