Default Sudden very sharp back pain

This morning started out really great. I did not lift anything
heavy. Drove somewhere in my pickup to pick a tool box. When I got out
of the truck, just after 30 minutes of driving, I had sudden back pain
and could not stand up straight without some pain.

For the next 2 hours, I could function, move around and carry things,
but with substantial discomfort.

Then I tried to turn a toolbox around, kind of pushed with one hand in
one direction. Then the pain suddenly became so severe that I could
barely walk. Barely made it to the couch, where I am right now,
totally out of commission.

WTF is wrong and does anyone have any idea if this will ever go away.


In addition to the suggestions about muscles & the like, if it's mostly
on one side, it could be a kidney stone.

The pain can be excruciating. It can come & go pretty much randomly,
with no other symptoms. More often, there may be blood in the urine, or
cloudiness from a UTI.

Good luck, whatever it is.
