Brief Answer:
Weakness of muscles ,vitamin deficiency and muscular pain are commonest

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar,

After going through your query I concluded that cause of your back pain can be muscle weakness or trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12. Back exercises, neurotropics such as mecobalamine and analgesics such as diclofenac give relief. Serum vitamin D test is advised if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required.

Another cause of backache specially in physical workers is muscular pain . Rest and analgesics give relief.Avoid long continuous standing.

You need to do x ray and MRI to rule out other causes.

You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.

Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Wishing you good health.
Take care.
