Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think your You are suffering from chronic backache. Treatment of back pain is exercises ,Cartisafe D once daily,NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (diclofenac 100mgSR). Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked .If it is low then vitamin D supplementation(Bon DK 60K weekly with milk) can be taken.Sit in a straight posture.Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily.To further investigate MRI of the region is advised. I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query
