Don't worry, it gets worse.

For a more helpful tip, start learning core exercises and do them semi regularly. They'll help you tremendously. See a physical therapist for some advice

Curiously enough, for me it got better. In m late twenties I got excruciating back pain, like the one described.

It all went away. Though getting a better bed and chair probably helped.

Closing on 60, but no back problems whatsoever safe the one time where I had a really nasty fall.

Yeah you probably learned to handle your posture and back better as you grew older. I think it's something we all go through as we approach our 30s, when we realize we can't sleep on a bed that makes our spine curve like a cheeto anymore.

but my actual lifestyle bedame worse. today im genuinely fat, back then i was reasonably athletic. in any case, i still recommend in taking care selecting the two pieces of furniture you spend over 50% of your time in. even said “nope” to the not even bad company chairs and brought in my own.
