Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in. Since more information can help a physician help a patient better, I would request you to answer the following questions:
a.     Since when do you have the pain?
b.     What is the exact site of pain- upper, middle or low back?
c.     Is the pain constant or does it come and go?
d.     Is it increased on movement?
e.     How is it relieved?
f.     Have you taken any treatment for it before?
g.     What is your occupation? Does you work involve working on a computer for long hours?

Once we know the cause of the pain, appropriate treatment can be instituted.
Waiting for your reply,
Dr.Pragnesh
