Shifting Back Pain
Hello Doctor,
I have had history of lower back problems. With exercise it has been better though.
But since almost a week I have been facing the issue of back pain again. And it is a shifting pain. Sometimes it is in the lower back just above the tail bone and it tends to shoot down the legs.
Since 2 days the pain has been shifting towards upper back and towards the side as well almost to ribs.
I have had voveran tablets and applied volini too but it seems to have little or temporary impact.
Kindly advise.

Build muscle strength and flexibility. Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight strains back muscles. If you're overweight, trimming down can prevent back pain.....
