General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for sharing some of the details! The Body Mass Index (BMI) for the given height and weight is in the normal range (23.7), so weight for the height can be considered healthy. The most common cause of back pain is musculoskeletal injury or strain due to improper sitting or sleeping position. In such scenario right seating and sleeping position gets important and in case of pain, over the counter pain killers and muscle relaxants are usually helpful with sufficient rest.
