Brief Answer: Description below Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Thanks for your query. Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you this there can be multiple causes but most common will be mechanical low back pain. 1. Lie on hard bed 2. Taking muscle relaxants in combination with mild pain killers will help you. 3. Hot water fomentation to back 2-3 times a day and applying a local analgesic gel on the affected area will also help in providing a relief. 4. Physiotherapy - Interferential therapy (IFT) to your back will help you relieve the pain 5. Avoid driving, leaning forward, sitting for prolonged time or lifting heavy weights. These activities can increase your back pain. You can start with swimming and mild aerobic exercises. These do help a lot in the back pain. Do adequate warming up before starting the exercises daily. Taking calcium and vitamin D 3 supplements will also help in early recovery. You can get these prescribed from your orthopedician. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
