Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com.
I advice you to do back strengthening exercises.

1. Bridging exercise-
Lie flat on the floor on your back with the hands by your side and your knees bent. Your feet should be placed around shoulder width. ...
Pushing mainly with your heels, lift your hips off the floor while keeping your back straight. ...
Slowly go back to the starting position as you breathe in.
2. Abdominal curl-
Place your feet on a wall so that your knees and hips are bent at 90-degree angles. Tighten your abdominal muscles. Raise your head and shoulders off the floor. To avoid straining your neck, cross your arms on your chest rather than locking them behind your head.
3. Isometric of back - with hip knee flex, pleace the roll of towel under the low back and press. Hold it 15 counts and relax
do it for 10 times

**All the exercises do it twice a day. Do not hold your breadth while doing the exercise.

4. Hot water fermentation. Cover the hot water bag with towel and place it on pain full for 10 minutes. Do it twice a day.

Some important points---
1. Sleep on firm mattress
2. Do not lift any heavy object
3. hold objects close to your body
4. Do not bend forward
5. Maintain your body posture correct. Use mirror to correct it
All this points will help in reducing pain.

If you need any further information, please revert back.
