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 three times a day after meals) 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.Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily.You need to done MRI TO RULE OUT other causes.
