Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have back pain for the past three days. I do not know the reason behind it. I usually sit in front of a laptop for 10 hours daily. I have the pain while sitting or standing or when I bend. I do not have it when I sleep at night on the floor. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Back pain comes from fatigued muscles. Your back muscle gets relaxed at night. So you do not have the pain at night. Sitting for long hours can aggravate back pain. Poor posture while sitting can also lead to back pain. Do back extension exercise, and sit only for 25 to 30 minutes on the chair. Sit in a chair which is having lumbar support. Take NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) for a few days.
