Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
After going through your query I think you are suffering from chronic backache.Treatment of back pain is exercises and analgesics (diclofenac SR). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as ultracet) is required.Consulting with treating doctor is advised. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked .If it is low then vitamin D supplementation( weekly with milk) can be taken.Avoid long continuous standing.Sit in a straight posture.Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. I think your query answered
