Hi Mam, after going through your query, i would suggest you the following
Mild back pain often feels better with over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen. Pain-relieving creams may be helpful for muscle aches. but only temporary relif is provided.
A physical therapist can guide you through stretches, strength exercises, and low-impact cardio that will help you be fitter without straining your back.
Yoga could also help you.
Thank You
