I through it out 2 yrs ago but could not do physio due to lack of funds. recently I just did a full days work of making beds and cleaning. today my back is in pain in the lower section of my back and the pain goes down my legs to my heals.

Dear sir/ma,am
Hi
Lower back pain in your case seems to be posture related ,especially if it goes off after taking rest .
But if it persists even after rest ,then take some PAIN KILLERS/ LOCAL analgesic GELS .
If it still persists , then you may need XRAYS/MRI etc
In ladies back pain may also be secondary to pelvic inflammatory disease also.
Thanx
