Brief Answer:
Need details about pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Kindly send more details about the pain like severity, exact location, duration, what makes it better, what makes it worse, any other associated symptoms.


If it is mild pain of short term duration then please take ibuprofen 200 mg upto 2-3 times a day. Avoid lifting heavy weights, avoid prolonged sitting in your office chair. Short term back pain mostly disappears by itself. Only in a few cases of prolonged back pain, testing is required.
