Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think you are suffering from chronic backache. Treatment of back pain is exercises and analgesics (diclofenac 100mgSR). You also got muscle cramps,I generally give EVION LC to my patients of muscle cramps for 15-20 days.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.Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture.Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query
