what could be causing sharp lower back pain?

Question by lori n: what could be causing sharp lower back pain?
I had lower back pain earlier today then I sneezed and I can't hardly walk. I have sharp pains when I walk, sit down, or stand up. The only thing I have done out of routine is mow the grass with a push mower this weekend. What could cause this and what kind of a doc do I need to see?

When you sneezed did it feel like you got stabbed by a red hot ice pick? If it did you should see a doctor. That's what nerve pain feels like. Here are a few links that will help you until then.
