What Causes Lower Back Pain/stiffness Without Any Other Symptoms?

Im a 39 year old female, weighing 10 stone 7 lbs and 5ft 10 ins. I started with lower back pain/stiffness for a couple of days, which then moved up to the middle and upper back and now my shoulders. My mum tells me that she had exactly the same think a week ago. apart from being very tired I have no other symptons. Is this just coincidence or could this be a virus?

Hello,

It may be due to muscle sprain.

For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.

Continue physical therapy.

Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally.

Heating pads may help.

Avoid strenuous activity
