Hello,
There are many reasons for lower back pain. Here are few that might have caused the problem to you- inappropriate way of sitting while you work, trauma to muscle or nerve due to some injury that went unnoticed.
Here are a few things I suggest to my patients who come with similar complains. First of all for a long standing pain over 2 months like this its very important to know the underlying cause and its advisable to visit a doctor in person for this cause history plays a very important role in diagnosis. Secondly if needed you will have to undergo some medical imaging tests to find out exact reason for the pain. After diagnosis is made you will be given proper medications for pain management. Also its advisable to see a physiotherapist later for better management of the pain as some pain relieving exercises are taught by the physiotherapist which work well.
For the other complains like bloating which can be due to acidity, some antiacid medicines like pan 40 can help in this. The other issue of dry mouth can be of various reasons and I advise you to mention the same to your visiting doctor as he might advise you to do some blood tests if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
