Reason for lower back pain?

Other than muscle strain, what would cause constant lower back pain? For instance, could a bladder infection be the problem? I don’t seem to have any other symptoms of a bladder infection though. What else could it be do you think? Any help/info is appreciated.

Update:

It's only been going on for two days. And I meant kidney, not bladder -- stupid me, I mis-spoke (or rather, mis-typed). I hate cranberry juice but will definitely give it a try if it will help.

Update 2:

dnjo303 -- I know, I reallly should lay off the bungy jumping. lol And as for the italian food, I'm all for that!

    See your health care provider as soon as possible. Pain due to muscular strain is usually confined to the back. Occasionally it may extend into the buttocks or upper leg. Pain that extends down the leg to below the knee is called sciatica and suggests pressure on the nerves as they leave the spinal cord. Sciatica often responds to home treatment but the following symptoms mean that immediate help from may be required: Loss of bladder or bowel control, weakness in the leg. Heat applied to the affected area will provider some relief. You may take acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen as long as you feel significant pain. If significant pain persists beyond a week, call the doctor. And good luck.

    it could be a lot of things. bladder infection, bladder track infection, kidney infection, kidney stones, etc. drink cocktail cranberry juice all day until the bottle is gone. how long has this been going on? if is has been going on for a while go see the doctor, our bodies give us these symptoms to warn us. listen to it. if this has just started, try the cranberry juice, if it dosen't go away in a day or so, then go see the doctor. I know it's expensive, and annoying, but I thought I was having constipation cramps once, and I was embarressed to go to the doctors, cause I did that once and was embarressed to find that it was constipation pain. however after long hours of throwing up and laying crying in pain for hours and hours my husband called my parents against my will and asked them to come get me and they forced me to the hospital. turns out it was my appendix, and I was really lucky that it didn't explode. what I learned from that is that your bodie talks to you, listen to it.
