Suggest Treatment For Back Pain And Seasonal Affective Disorder

I think I am having symptoms of seasonal affect disorder. I am tired all the time. On the weekends I skip appointments to stay at home in bed or on the couch. I have real bad back pain and at times I can feel the nerve endings? The only thing that gets me out of bed during the week is work.

continuous back pain is not a good sign get your MRI done. Till then few remedies im telling you
-first of all check if there is any spasm around back if yes then apply hot pack for 15 mins twice daily.
-use firm mattress and good pillow
-put a pillow under your calf muscles while lying on bed
-keep bending your knees when you lie straight on your back
-if there is tingling sensation then ankle toe movement(flexion-extension,rotation clock and anticlockwise) is good.
-get your physiotherapy done
-wear back support while walking if walk is neccsary otherwise stop walking for few days no brisk walk.
-no driving or traveling for long distance.
-too much lying is also not good keep changing your posture position.
