Brief Answer:
Weaker muscles

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You seem to be straining your back muscles very often. You should check with an occupational therapist what is going wrong with the way you sit and work or drive your car.

Muscles needs to be relaxed more often than earlier. May be you should not drive for more than 15 min at a time. Get down for a min and start again.

Massage therapy helps once in a while.

Use extra cushions or accessories to be pain free.

Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
