How Can Intermittent Lower Back Pain Caused Due To Long Hours Of Sitting Be Treated?
Saw my doctor about 8 years ago and mentioned my lower back hurting and she said age. I am now 37. Well it is local to one spot and comes and goes. Back side on the right about an inch from my spine just above buttox close to hip line. Pain appears to be muscle or tendon related with pain extending into the buttox at times. I always assumed it was from sitting on my wallet and have carried my wallet in my font pocket for over 7 years now. Not sure what aggrevates it. Pain is about one inch wide and two inch tall area. When it is bad it has put me to my knees but most times lately it just gets achy for several days. What your recommendation?

Hi,
The lower back pain after sitting for long hours is mostly posture related. You need to have regular stretch breaks during the work, follow office ergonomics and do regular back strengthening exercises to help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
