Maybe the table you were on created a problem with your back. For me, I was very uncomfortable and had a wedge placed under my knees. If I had to lie flat, I wasnt able to as I have arthritis in my lower back. Was there something you were laying on that bothered your back?
This next idea may be a bit far fetched, but I will throw it out there and you can think about your treatments. When I went thru radiation, I had a spot on the lower back of my head where the radiation exited my body. It ended up being a bald spot about the size of a quarter. Is it possible that the angle of your radiation would have made it exit your body thru your lower back?
At least you are not in pain.
