Dear lybrate-user Lower back pain is because of so many reasons Starting from simple postural problem to compression at nerve roots One of d most common one is L4-5 disc tear usually seen in young adults TB is offcourse one of the cause but itis not like everyone who has back pain has TB For seeking a relevant advice you need to answer few questions, Has to undergo proper set of specific tests to rule out certain specific disorders. Every case needs a detailed understanding through certain investigations and evaluations. Though rest/ hot fomentation/Physio and few days of muscle relaxants usually works well but 1st diagonosing then treating is always beneficial for complete relief. If not public then can chat privately for all queries. The good news is - its always treatable if timely addressed Good luck.

Do you have history of tuberculosis/ family history of tuberculosis? Do ESR test. X-ray. And if there is some hint of tuberculosis than go for mri. It's curable and duration of treatment depends on location of infection.
