Really SHARP PAIN in my back?

Ive had back pain for the last 4 year, and when I cough I get a sharp pain.?

• Well I am 21 years of age. I have had lower back pain for awhile know...I know that I am heavy....240 lb and 6'2....but the past week the pain I have is to the point I cant even stand up straight. The only way I can straighten my back up is to put my back on a wall and push using my hands on the other side of the wall til my back is straight...when I do this I get the sharpest pain in my lower back...and I just eventually go back to looking like a hunch back. Sorry I just dont know a better term to put it in..another big thing is....that when I cough...the pain is just as bad if not worse then when I try to stand up straight. Any help would be appreciated...also I will not my father has had back pain since the age of 14....and as well as my mother...she had stage for cancer...and cancer of the bones.

• Answer:

  Back pains are mostly caused by pinched muscles in the back. They get so tight they hurt like heck and they remain pinched until they are released. Here's how to release your back muscles to release the muscles that are pinched: Back: (do from a sitting position) Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side. for best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
