Back pain is difficult to diagnose and treat. Few questions about your backpain, I need to know. When do u have it? Morning evening, after work? Would it be relieved after rest? Would it increase after work or in morning or in night? Do u hv heel pain? Or other joint pain or swelling?.
Bz if u hv simple mechanical pain, then it would be relieved in approx 2 weeks maximum. And if you don't improve, u can consult one Rheumatologist.
