Back pain relief?

After working just 4 hrs I can barely stand and bend over or squat to stand nearly impossible? Can you give me any ideas to make it threw the day at work

Hi there!

Well, without a detailed description or a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to comment on the situation. If you are concerned about backache, possibilities that may need to be considered include spinal causes such as postural issues, degenerations, inflammations; neuro-muscular causes, referred pain from other regions etc. It would be best to have this evaluated by an internist for an evaluation. After a cause is identified it can be managed accordingly or specialist care may be sought. Meanwhile you could try warm compresses and OTC NSAIDS and see if these seem to provide relief.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
