Brief Answer:
Need neurologist evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX,
Thanks for your information.
According to your symptoms like alertness,eye strain and constant back pain it could be due to nerve compression or degeneration. I would suggest you visit a neurologist for clinical examination and to rule out any nerve compression.Doctor may advised MRI to rule out the cause if needed.
Mean time you can take Ibuprofen for pain and use hot water bag fomentation for back pain.
Do not sit or stand in same position for long time.
Keep change your posture while sleeping.
I would also suggest you get your hemoglobin and thyroid hormonal levels test done.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
