making your back stronger may not remedy the situation.
you should def get checked out by a doctor to make sure it’s a muscle weakness thing.
if not, and you just try to make your back stronger, you could injure yourself worse.
that said, if it IS a muscle weakenss thats causing pain, you need to make the muscles in both the back AND the stomach stronger.
both sides = balance.
what i do for my lower back/stomach:
-iron bridge. lay on back, lift the shoulders and legs off the floor. MAKE SURE your lower back in ROUNDED and pushed into the floor. then, relax as much as possible, breathe into the muscles you are working, and just hold. start off holding for only 30/45 seconds. work up to 2/3 minutes.
-reverse iron bridge. same idea, but lie on the stomach and lift everything off the floor. keep your knees straight and don’t tilit your head back. relax all the muscles you don’t need to use and breathe deeply into the muscles you are working. same as above. start with 30 seconds, building up to 2/3 minutes.
-uncle willy. lay on the floor. place your palms on your chin and lift your body onto your toes and elbow. hold, breathe and relax the muscles you don’t need. start with 30, build up to 2/3 minutes.
warm up the body before. stretch after.

Static Stretching
Abdominal Exercises
Deadlift….back extensions
Yoga is actually pretty good for it also
wondering how I know I had a cracked vertebrae a few years back and was pretty much layed up for 6 months until a friend got me into yoga…the first little bit was deadly but my back eventually got alot better

There are a lot of things that can cause back pai n. You need to see a doctor & find out what is wrong. Then go to a physical therapist for the right excercises.
