Hello friend,
I am Dr. Vaibhav Gandhi, I am Orthopaedic surgeon and spine specialist.
I have studied your case. It appears to be an occupation related problem.
This kind of pain is due compression of nerve due to spinal disc bulge. Nerve compression leads radiating pain, which aggravated on long time sitting in same particular position.
exercises-
Do spine extension exercises,lying on your stomach lift leg,then lift only head and chest,do suryanamaskar[sun salutation]
do streches and rotation of all joints
Here are my other useful suggestions to you:
Avoid lifting weights
Sit with a support on your back.
Take break every half hour while at office. Try to do some stretches and joint movements
Continue spine extension exercises.
If the above do not help you may need to see a Physiotherapist/yoga teacher
Get ample sleep, good amount of water and fluids. Rising temperatures can cause these symptoms.eat fresh fruits. Tackle stress at right time.
dont drive bike for long time,keep your body weight in normal range.
Take care
