Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Chronic low back pain could be due to lumbar spondylosis.
Kindly get X-ray of lumbar spine done to know about the status of your spine.
Apart from intake of analgesics and applying analgesic gel locally, you can manage with Tablet. Methylcobalamin and Physiotherapy exercises to strengthen back muscles.
Also, you may require ultrasonic or infrared heat treatment based on your X-ray findings.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
