If you are doing a desk based job, then this pain is most likely related to your posture while sitting at your desk. If not, then you may have faulty sitting or standing posture. If the pain is getting worse and not settling with painkillers, then you may need investigations like MRI scan. Improve your posture, stay active, do Not use any belts or support, do yoga or core strengthening exercises and if you do this regularly for a few months, you will notice a difference in your back pain. Hope this helps. Dr Vinu Raj MBBS MRCS FRCS (Trauma&Orthopaedics) Consultant Orthopaedic Spinal Surgeon
