Question : I am having lower back pain while sitting or driving car since 5 days. I dont feel any pain while walking or sleeping. this problem started after I cleaned my overhead water tank. I thought it would be cured after couple of days, but not feeling better after 5 days. do I need to go to doctor. anything else I can try at home for couple of days?
