Hi, I think you can take some calcium supplements for backache. Take a glass of warm milk with isabgula husk at night to relieve constipation. You can take some stool softener like syrup lactulose at night. You can apply some ointment containing diclofenac over your back to relieve the pain. Hope it helps.
