Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It may be lumbar spondylosis.
Back exercises, Diacerine, glucosamine sulfate neurotropic such as methycobalamin and analgesics (DICLOFENAC) give relief. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
