Hi,
I have been extremely stressed lately and i feel my back real starts hurting. First its my lower back and sciatica now its across my upper back. Do you know if stress can be a cause of this?
 
While stress can certainly make back pain worse, I don't think it will actually be the cause of the pain....other than maybe tight muscles. If this is an ongoing problem, you should see your family doctor.

I have a bad back also and believe it or not "STRETCHING" helps a lot!!
A lot of people don't stretch and it hurts when doing it but after it feels great!

Also take deep breaths when stretching.
