Hello,I am a 59 year old woman who is begun yo experience back problems. When I have been active at work or even just walking around the shops I am developing discomfort but not pain in my back. in order for it to go away I need to sit down for 5 or 10 mins. I have had slight problems with my neck for most of my life but don t understand this feeling of tiredness in my back which has suddenly appeared without injury.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some degenerative changes in your lower vertebrae producing pinched nerve pressure giving rise sciatica pain.
Go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region for spondilitis.
After report physiotherapy, short way diathermy as advised by orthopedic surgeon.
Take calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Ok and take care.
