- Morning stiffness that takes a while to ease
- A dull ache across the lower back that worsens as the day goes on
- Sharp twinges when bending, lifting, or twisting
- Pain after sitting for long periods or driving
- Pain that travels down the leg (sciatica)
- Feeling restricted in movements like getting up from a chair or reaching overhead
