Some conditions commonly linked to back pain

Spinal stenosis

Spinal stenosis occurs due to narrowing of the space around the spinal cord that puts pressure on the nerves. Symptoms include pain in the lower back, cramping in the legs, trouble walking.

Bulging or ruptured disks

Disks act as cushions between the bones in your spine. Bulging or ruptured disk can put pressure on the nerves and cause back pain. Disk disease is often detected during spine X-rays for some other reason.

Arthritis

Arthritis can occur anywhere along the spine but more commonly in the lower back and neck. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of spinal arthritis and can affect the lower back. The pain is typically felt more when you bend or twist your back. In some cases, arthritis in the spine can lead to spinal stenosis.

Skeletal irregularities

Sometimes back pain can be caused by skeletal irregularities. For example, scoliosis – a condition in which your spine curves to the side. Generally, it happens in middle age.

Osteoporosis

The main cause of osteoporosis is a spinal compression fracture, which happens if your bones become porous and brittle. It can cause sudden, severe back pain that gets worse when you are standing or walking.
