Hi,
- First of all, your doctor is probably suspecting some renal problem,giving you back ache.Before doing anything else, it should be excluded/diagnosed by consultation of a kidney specialist & take needful treatment as per advice.
- You are a software engineer, naturally you have to be in front of computer ,sitting in a chair, bending your spine for hours together.
This might have resulted in a faulty posture ,created a change in natural curves in cervical & thorasic spine.To change this to normal,you have to-
Change your sitting arrangement & position of computer,so as to avoid strain to your back as per a physiotherapist/orthopedic surgeon's advice
- Use physiotherapy to gradually make spinal movements( BOth thorasic & cervical ) free & painless
- By the time use pain killers as per your doctor's advice
-Use of elastic back posture support
- Magnetic therapy for back posture correction can be an additional support , to be used after expert's advice.
This should solve your problem in3-4 months.

Dear patient
Happy to help you through your problem
Are you on the taller side?cause taller people are more prone to backache.
I totally agree with your doctor....faulty posture is a common cause of back pain in your age group individuals.
When you sit on the computer...you must sit with your back erect.
See that your chair is comfortable enough.
Hope i could help you
