Back pain symptoms can be numbness, shooting pain or a tingling feeling. It can go down to your toes in one or both legs, range from not too bad to severe pain and be constant. You should see a doctor and they'll want to have a few x-rays done to rule out other problems. They can then suggest the best treatment .

  A few helpful tips for a healthier back:
• Try to maintain good posture and not slouch while sitting in a chair.
• Bring your foot up to place on a stool or step, then tie your shoes.
• Do not bend over to pick something up. Instead slowly go down towards it, holding it close to your body as you are lifting it.
• Do not stretch to get something. Move yourself towards the object then pick it up. Twisting and turning are not good for any back problem.
• If sitting for long periods of time, try to take little breaks and move around.
• If you're a couch potato, by all means do not try to act like your favorite superstar athlete on the weekends. Slowly ease yourself into some sort of exercise.
• Ask your doctor about any exercises you might do before starting to do any.
• If you are overweight, attempt to try to slim down. Bigger tummies are not very good for back ailments.
• If any back pain lasts for more than a few months, even if you are a scaredy cat like some of us, make an effort to see your doctor. Back pain can be a symptom of other illnesses so you should have it checked.
