Lower back pain
I have started experiencing heavy back pain In the morning when i wake up. Earlier it happened sometimes, now it's a regular thing. During rest of the day when body becomes active, i don't notice it but pain is there when i move my waist to check if pain is there. However, it's not that severe during rest of the day. Is there any exercise/yoga that can help?
