after that you need to check your action and change it so it dosent put stress on ur back.

Re: Back Problem

The two common causes for this type of issue are overuse or [most common] a mixed action.

If you are going to work towards the plank test, you must not shift your weight as you lift a limb. For example, as you raise an arm, the trunk must remain solid and not move to one side. The idea is to have your core support you, not your extremities.

However, this is not something I would recommend you do if you are suffering from lower back issues. I would advise waiting until the pain has subsided.
