I have that trouble of back pain when meditating, especially after a hard day at work (I am physically active in my job). If my back hurts in the slightest, I just lie down and it is usually just fine.
I start to wonder if one's mind is running around loose and uncontrollable, then is it a mental disturbance that keeps one from spiritual health? In this case, if meditation is a spiritual devotion.
