Hi Maintain your posture while sitting standing and while working. Try to avoid unconfortable postions. and for nurses while taking night duty in sitting uncomfortable position they used to sleep.this is also a cause of back pain. Have a regular excercise to strengthen your back muscles.For relieving pain syndrome you can use naproxen or diclofenac for 5 days. You can use a local antiinflamatory gel of diclfenac or nimusulide also.and do a hot compress also.If you dont have any disc herniation or other problems this will help. thanks
