For the past week i have began to have severe lower back pain and it has started to limit my movement at work. Im scared that it might be something serious but im not sure if im just overreacting to some over exhertion from work. i stand for almost 8 hours straight 5 days a week.
First get yourself evaluated by a Doctor for any serious underlying cause for your backache. If there is none then you will have to take preventive measures at work, as your work seems to make you stand for long, which can cause this backache. Try to avoid standing idol for long. Always keep moving your feet, fold you knees now & then, raise your heels often, bend your hips, do some stretches etc..
