Back Pain can be acute (usually intense, however short-lived), subacute or chronic (long-lasting or taking place often). Acute back ache commonly lasts from one to seven days. About 80 percentage of all back pain is acute. Subacute back pain generally lasts from seven days to seven weeks and commonly is mild; sometimes it's extreme. This ache normally is unrelated to other illnesses you may have. About 10 to 20 percent of all back pain is subacute. Chronic back pain commonly lasts greater than three months and maybe slight or severe. It can be associated with different illnesses you may have or may don't have any identifiable cause. About five to 10 percentage of all back pain is chronic.
