Lower back pain
I am experiencing lower back pain on the right side since 1-2 weeks, the pain keeps coming for sometime and it disappears.
I took antacids and ppi's thinking it to be gastric pain but its not reducing.
I sit for long time in my office... Is it because of my posture or is there any underlying problem?
Can you please suggest me a remedy for it.

Sitting for long hours and travelling on bumpy roads for long hours could put excessive strain on your back. There could be an underlying disc degeneration (disc prolapse). There are various stages of which this could be the initial stages. Whether this is the cause or something else can be commented only after a thorough examination.
Health Tips
What you could do is to make sure you sit upright on your chair with the vision of the monitor in level with your eyesight. There should be adequate back support in the chair. You should get up intermittently and walk to release stresses on the back. Hot fomentation with an analgesic gel application will help the symptoms. Its best to see a doctor for a thorough examination if the pain persists.
