Is it normal to have an abnormaly painful back...

For almost 7 years now my lower and middle back has been hurting. Bad. I hurts most right after I get up from sitting and after I get done with a workout it feels fine for about an hour. I don't know what's going on! I'm scared to see a doctor cause I don't want to have to pay all that money to find out I just have bad posture or something. IIN?

    Do it!! I'm 18 always active and healthy and over the past year have had severe back pain. Be concerned if you have numbness or tingling going down your legs. It turns out I have a herniated disc and a bulging disc and now looking at surgery. Get it checked before more damage!
