Dear friend, welcome to Healthcaremagic!
I am Dr. Prasad Akole (Critical Care Expert- http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole) and am glad to address to your query here.
Your low back pain which is not settling with exercises and efforts needs evaluation. I would suggest Xrays and MRI of the dorso-lumbar spine and opinion of a spine surgeon.
Do not use faulty posture. Most cases are postural.
Other causes need to be ruled out.
Go by the spine surgeon’s advice. If there is any nerve entrapment due to spinal abnormality, you may need to see a neurologist.
You can take simple OTC pain killers like crocin 500 mg upto 4 times a day till then.
NSAIDs may be taken on advice.
I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily. I would be glad to answer any further queries. Take care and please keep me informed of your progress at http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole
Good Luck!

Hello and Welcome to HCM,
Thanks for writing to us.
From description it seems you might be suffering Mechanical back pain.
It is a common medical problem.Mechanical back pain implies the source of pain is in the spine and/or its supporting structure. The surrounding muscles and ligaments may develop reactive spasm and pain.
You can start with swimming and mild aerobic exercises. These do help a lot in the back pain. Do adequate warming up before starting the exercises daily.
Taking calcium and vitamin D 3 supplements will also help in early recovery. You can get these prescribed from your orthopedician.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
Dr Saurabh Gupta.
