I had sudden back pain and could not stand up straight without some pain.

I'm 57 and had much the same thing happen 4 or 5 years ago... it was
scary. Never had any back issues before or since.

In my case it was lower back and severe, no comfortable position, even
in bed. Then just as suddenly as it appeared, it just 'went away' about
midnight the second night. No rime or reason.

Hope your's goes away soon...

What Erik said.

It's happened to me twice except I *could not* get out of bed for 2-3 hours
until the pain went away. All by itself. Scary indeed.

My doc told me that the world's best way to mess up your back is to
reach overhead while twisting at the waist. I believe him because that is
exactly what I did before my back gave out the second time.

Just plain bed rest appears to be the best Rx.
