When I get up the 1st thing in the morning I can't get out of bed right way. I'm in a lot
of pain and can't move because my lower right side of my back hurts BAD. Once I take a shower my back does losen up more. Does anyone else have the same thing happen?

Lefty,

Lower back pain is an incredibly common problem, some sources suggest that 80% of people will experience it at some stage in their life, so I am sure many others are sharing your experience.

Early morning stiffness can indicate inflammation but is not specific to any one cause. Pain in the morning similarly may indicate an arthritis but also is not specific. Hot water and movement can be helpful as you have found for yourself.

It is difficult to say what could be the cause of your problem form what you have typed, and a full history and physical should be done by a Dr to come to a diagnosis.

Commonly this will be non-bony lower back pain - a strain in your muscle or ligament. Other conditions such as arthritis, bony disease or structural abnormalities should be considered. Any symptoms such as numbness, pins and needles, weakness, urinary or bowel problems or if you have a history of cancer should cause you to go to your Dr immediately.

Most likely it will be something that is not serious and will resolve on its own.
