I think i might have back problems. More than often i have back pains, but i don't do heavy lifting that often and i haven't done manual labor in forever. my g/f was looking for knots on my back the other day, and she said it felt like a vertebrae was out of place. It probably doesn't help that i sleep on my stomach every night either, does it?

There was this evil chiropractor who saved up a barrel of subluxations and he was going to pour it into the city reservoir but Batman caught him.

back problems (in the absence of obvious physical strain/injury) are usually caused by psychological concerns, stress. some physical things you can do, however, include regular exercise including sit-ups to strengthen your abdominal muscles.
honestly, i wouldn't worry about sleeping on your stomach. if that's how you sleep best, sleep that way, even if it puts a little extra strain on your back muscles. if you strengthen your body's support muscles, you can sleep any way you want.
most importantly, don't give in to the temptation to lie down or remain inactive when your have back pain. you've got to strengthen the muscles in your back and abdomen, and massive relaxation will feel good in the short term, but is bad in the long term.
resolve to exercise, every day.
try 600-800 mg ibuprofen (do *not* do this every day) if the pain is very uncomfortable.
if you see a doctor, see one who can help you develop an appropriate exercise regimen.

this may seem rather obvious but make sure your back is straight when you're at the computer

I hurt my back and i believe i did it whilst snowboarding but anyway, when i went to the doctor he said for ages 14-22 or something like that back pains come and go with little excuse for ever existing so just take some of these here painkillers, my good fellow, whenever the hurts be a-bothering ye, and sure as hell is hot the pain will subside within a year. And sure as heaven is soft and white and cloud-based, it did.

your problem looks a bit the same as mine,..i also have a vertebrae that is out of place, just visit the doctor to be sure what it is, i had it all my life i was born with it(but discovered it 2 years ago after they took pictures) they even have a name for it, its called "scheuermann" i hope for you it is not, if it is, there is almost nothing you can do about it.
you can only learn how to lift things in the right way and practise the back muscels
