Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it looks like musculoskeletal pain.
As the pain is altered due to posture, it goes more in favour of musculoSkeletal cause.
I prescribe Skeletal muscle relaxant tablet containing Thiocolchicoside to my patients with similar complaints.
I also prefer to go for an Ultrasound abdomen to rule out any Kidney problem.
Hope I answered your query.
If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
