Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Low back pain with weakness on standing may be due to lumbar canal stenosis.
The cause may be disc prolapse.
You need to get a Mri of lumbosacral spine.
You should avoid stooping forward, lifting heavy objects, sitting in squatting position, standing for long duration.
Physiotherapy under physiotherapist can be helpful.
Pain killers with muscle relaxant like etoricoxib or Aceclofenac with thiocholchicoside or tizanidine can be taken.
