Hello
You have not mentioned important history of supposedly onset of lower back pain with radiation of pain to lower limb like sciatica due to possible lifting of heavy weights. We have seen many patients with similar back problem and treated them successfully.
The symptoms which you have vaguely mentioned here are suggestive of onset of sciatica like problem, however, it will be advisable for you to get a thorough consult with me on Practo online or take an appointment here so that I can know more details and help in treatment.
Some helpful tips -
1. Improve posture. Sit erect. Do not bend forwards while working
2. Avoid lifting heavy weights.
3. Do low back stretching and strengthening exercises
4. Hot fomentation for low back.
5. You will require a thorough prescription of medication which is specific for your pain and for that it is advisable to take appointment for online consultation on Practo.
I would suggest you to contact and take appointment for us directly on Practo and take the course of treatment for back problem.
