Dear patient
Running as such does not lead to back pain. But I back pain may be related to running due to sprain. Chronic back pain may also be related to spondylolysis. I would advise Xray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Start tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for pain relief. Visit expert orthopaedic surgeon with report. All the best.
