Back pain on left side
Before 2months, I have suffered acute back pain on left side, it may be due to lifting of heavy weight. I taken medicine and rest for 15days. At present, I have been suffering slightly pain and also going office by car. If pain continue then using water fomentation and volin gel on back and I usually get relaxed.
I also regularly do walk for 30 -45 minutes.
My query is I should stop walking, water fomentation and apply gel? What I should do for complete healing of left side back pain?

What is your profession? How much and how do you sit for your professional and personal requirements is the key. The time spend on gadgets is also contributing. A predominantly sedentary life leads to weak muscles around hip and walking on those weak muscles can contribute to pain. For the time being you can take a break from walking.
Next Steps
ergonomic sitting and workstation environment, improving your sedentary lifestyle and doing the right exercises.
Health Tips
we can do a teleconsultation if you feel.
