“I have never had a back injury, then why do I have a constant back pain?”
I am a 28 year old woman and I am suffering from constant lower back pain. If I have never had any fall or back injury, then what could be the cause of my back pain? What are the tests that I should undergo to diagnose the issue?

Lifestyle factor such as walking and cycling may help prevent lower back pain but Obesity, smoking, physical workload can increase risk for lower back pain http://bit.ly/2OQCRxE . I would advise you to follow up with a Rheumatologist for further evaluation as there can be many different causes for your symptoms and it should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
There are many causes of lower back pain. An internist is a good place to start. He or she should take a thorough history and physical and may order x-rays and lab tests.
Young women with back pain may have either referred pain from a pelvic or colon problem or an inflammatory arthritis of the spine, probably ankylosing spondylitis. I advise going to a rheumatologist who can do an X-ray of your spine and look for inflammatory sacroileitis. If you go to an orthopedic surgeon, he may want to do unnecessary tests and MRIs and nerve blocks.
Please see a Rheumatologist! I would recommend to perform Blood work for Rheumatic Problem and Radiologic studies to identify the cause of the pain.
