Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Back pain at your age is usually due to faulty position, long hours of sitting or lack of exercise.

I suggest you to regularly exercise to reduce the pain and stay fit.

Meanwhile you can apply DICLOFENAC gel over the back to get rid of the pain.

Also wear a Lumbosacral belt which will reduce the mobility at the spine and help healing.

Hope, I answered your query.

Regards,
